Their performances astounding, and diversity unparalleled, these three
revered musicians are not actually natives of the “Golden State”. The California Guitar Trio (CGT) is Bert Lams from Belgium, Hideyo Moriya from Japan, and Paul Richards from Utah. The trio first met in England in 1987 while studying with iconic King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.
Together, their technical wizardry is breathtaking, as is the wide range of instrumental music the group renders ….. everything from unique originals to dazzling, cleverly-arranged interpretations of jazz, classical music, and even surf rock.
Since their inception in 1991, the Trio has released 12 CD’s; seven studio albums and four live releases. In October 2010, the California Guitar Trio released their 13th career CD Andromeda, an entirely new all-original album nearly three years in the making. This album won the Best Instrumental Album of 2010 at the Indie Acoustic Project.
In space, California Guitar Trio’s music was played to wake the astronauts aboard the NASA space shuttle “Endeavor”. Here on earth, the Trio’s music has been featured extensively on NPR, NBC’s Olympic coverage, and various CBS, CNN, and ESPN TV programs.
