California
Guitar Trio

Friday, October 17 8:00
pm
All Tickets $27.50
Due to the early sell-out for last
season's cancelled performance (the Blizzard of '08), we are pleased to announce two shows by California Guitar Trio. With stunning virtuosity and a sly sense of humor, this trio covers a whirlwind of instrumental styles fusing classical rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive, as well as, the quintessential California musical genre, surf music. Significantly crossing over in the progressive, acoustic and classical music scenes has earned them a rabid following and wide notoriety. Notably, CGT music was featured on the television coverage of the 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympics, and also on CBS, NBC, CNN and ESPN TV programs. This show is supported by
MedBen.
