California Guitar Trio has played together 30 years since meeting in a guitar class.When Songbirds Guitar Museum opened in April 2017, California Guitar Trio was booked as the venue’s first ticketed concert.
“I’d worked with CGT several times over the years at Rhythm and Brews,” says Mike Dougher, Songbirds entertainment coordinator. “I thought they’d be a perfect fit. They are so amazing and so talented, and to be in our space … it’s a marriage made in heaven.”
The trio will play a return engagement at Songbirds, 35 Station St., on Friday, March 16, at 7 p.m.
Comprised of Bert Lams, Hideyo Moriya and Paul Richards, the trio met in 1987 after each enrolled in Robert Fripp’s Guitar Craft courses. They went on tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists, before forming the California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later.
