CGT stands for California Guitar Trio, one of the most fanatically
\nfollowed groups of instrumental adventurers in existence \u2014 and the
\nmissing link between Beethoven and Burl Ives, Franz Schubert and Freddie
\n Mercury, or Vivaldi and The Ventures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MG3 means The Montr\u00e9al Guitare Trio, a threesome of modern masters
\nwho\u2019ve wowed audiences from major European festivals to BB King\u2019s in NYC
\n with their heartwarming stage presence and their spine-chilling
\nvirtuosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While they may have found themselves joined together in musical
\nmatrimony (a union in which the only argument generally centers around
\nsettle strings vs. nylon), the members of CGT and MG3 have created an
\nentity that\u2019s more than a marriage of convenience \u2014 touring the planet,
\nsharing the stage and releasing a live album in 2011. The supercharged
\nsextet comes to Monmouth University for a concert event that takes the
\n\u201cacoustic\u201d guitar into dynamic dimensions that many people never thought
\n possible. As CGT, the three veterans of the British guitar guru\u2019s
\nGuitar Craft program have released fourteen studio and live albums,
\nfilmed a tour documentary and carried their music across international
\nborders as easily as they\u2019ve broken through the barricades of musical
\ngenre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Making their first area appearance are the members of The Montr\u00e9al
\nGuitare Trio (S\u00e9bastien Dufour, Glenn L\u00e9vesque, Marc Morin), all of whom
\n have made a name for themselves beyond their native Quebec \u2014 covering
\nclassic rock songs from The Beatles and others; folding stylistic
\ninfluences from Scandinavia to South America into their original
\ncompositions, and bringing more than just \u201cone more country\u201d to the
\nmultinational mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Audiences should expect nothing less than the unexpected when CGT+MG3
\n take the stage \u2014 a set of intricately wrought surprises that can take
\nin everything from baroque fugues, surf music (Dick Dale\u2019s \u201cMisirlou\u201d),
\narena rock (Queen\u2019s \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d) and bluegrass picking with some
\n interlocking mathematical-puzzle originals. It\u2019s a brand of subtle
\npyrotechnics that \u201cskips merrily among genres\u201d with wry showmanship and
\ngenuinely awesome technique \u2014 one of those off-the-map crossroads where
\nthe happiest of accidents occur. <\/p>\n
