The California Guitar Trio consists of threesome musicians wHO are non necessarily California-bred; Bert Lams is from Belgium, Hideyo Moriya hails from Japan, and Paul Richards is the only aboriginal of the U.S.A. The three first crossed paths at a guitar seminar held at Robert Fripp's home in England in the late '80s. Lanis, Moriya, and Richards toured the U.S. and England as office of Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists until deciding to arm out on their own in the settle of 1990.
The band officially became the California Guitar Trio in February of '91, after relocating due to the fact that Lams was getting marital and was moving there anyway. By starting out playing small clubs and coffeehouses on the West Coast, the mathematical group shortly became well-known in guitar playing circles, thanks too to their Fripp/King Crimson connector. They were eventually sign to the Fripp/Crimson label Discipline Global Mobile, releasing 1994's Yamanashi Blues and 1995's Invitation. The mathematical group has toured intensely always since their debut, porta for King Crimson, David Sylvian, Robert Fripp (solo and with his Robert Fripp String Quintet), and John McLaughlin, as well as headlining shows themselves; Pathways followed in 1998, and two long time by and by the chemical group resurfaced with Rocks the West.
