Soundcheck With The California Guitar Trio

Mr. Crimson — Sat, 05 May 2007 02:31:23 +0000

A few days ago, my wife and I were privileged enough to be able to attend and assist at a California Guitar Trio concert, and received permission to post a video from soundcheck. It was taken with a digital camera, so the quality isn’t incredible, but reasonable.

The Trio will be recording their next studio album soon, but in the meantime there is a few dates left on their schedule, so be sure to check them out if you can!

Big thanks to Paul, Bert, and Hideyo for an excellent concert and for allowing us to share this video with you.
