WHAT: Concert event presented by Charlotte’s Web for the Performing Arts

WHERE: Mendelssohn PAC, 415 N. Church St., Rockford, IL
WHY: With a whirlwind of instrumental styles fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive, 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 an enthusiastic following and wide notoriety, with significant crossover in the progressive, acoustic and classical music scenes. Paul Richards of Salt Lake City, Utah, Bert Lams of Brussels, Belgium, and Hideyo Moriya of Tokyo first met in England at one of Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft Courses in 1987. After completing several of these intensive courses, the three toured worldwide with Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists. Wanting to continue working together after the League had run its course; Bert, Paul and Hideyo convened in Los Angeles and founded The California Guitar Trio in 1991, honing their intricate original compositions, surf covers, and classical re-workings. "A California Guitar Trio performance is like a night at the theater: Drama, passion, humor, joy, pathos, it's all there." - Acoustic Musician Magazine.
Opening the show is Rockford's own brilliant guitarist, Dan Voll: considered one of the Midwest’s most versatile guitarists, his genres include blues, jazz, Latin jazz, world music, and acoustic.
