Since 1991, the California Guitar Trio has redefined the boundaries of guitar music. Blending rock, jazz, classical, world music—and even surf and spaghetti Westerns—CGT’s genre-bending sound is matched by their captivating live shows, full of dazzling musicianship, storytelling, and humor.

With over 115 million streams and 21 albums, the trio’s unique chemistry connects deeply with audiences. Their latest releases include Live in Scottsdale (recorded on tour with King Crimson) and Elegy, featuring lush originals and bold reimaginings of Radiohead and the Beatles.

CGT’s music has reached listeners around the globe—from the Olympics and major networks to NASA’s Space Shuttle Endeavor. Current members Paul Richards, Bert Lams, and Tom Griesgraber continue to push artistic boundaries, including collaborations with Montreal Guitar Trio in a powerful six-guitar ensemble.
