11/13 Sun 7:30pm CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO, also MONTREAL GUITAR TRIO $30 +$2 proc.
With a whirlwind of instrumental style & repertoire fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz and bluegrass ~ as well as the quintessential California musical genre, surf music ~ the California Guitar Trio's stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humor have earned them the title "the world's greatest acoustic band." [-Guitar Shop Magazine] Worldwide, wildly enthusiastic crowds have responded to their mind-blowing musicianship and unabashed emphasis on good fun with standing ovations. A list of the trio's personnel makes the source of their dynamic mix no wonder: Bert Lams (Belgium), a classically trained graduate of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels; Paul Richards (USA), the resident rocker and guitar effects aficionado; and Hideyo Moriya (Japan), surf guitar specialist. Acoustic Guitar Magazine says "The CGT will knock your socks off. The tight ensemble creates sounds that range from raindrop pointillism to a three-ton harpsichord gone berserk!"
Formed by three guitarists of unbridled energy and charisma, the Montreal Guitar Trio ("MG3") leads its audience to a special place where jazz and world music are entwined with gusto. Spiced by a wry sense of humor, MG3's music "exubes" an irresistible energy and an overwhelming passion that will make you stamp furiously! The trio's eclectic music takes listeners on a journey through the world's many cultures -- from the mysterious, exotic melodies of India to the hot rhythms of South America, Spain, the Balkans, the Orient, traditional Quebec and even Hollywood! Coming from a classical background, MG3 members also sing and write much of their material. Since it was founded at University of Montreal in 1998, MG3 has given hundreds of concerts in North America, Western & Eastern Europe and New Zealand, many of which have been recorded and broadcast by national networks such as CBC and Radio-France.
"The Montreal Trio's guitars know no limits!" -La Montagne, France
"... they delivered loads of infectious good humour and some solid ensemble playing that skirted the four corners of the musical world." -Edmonton Journal, Canada
