Fri 3/31 & Sat 4/1 @ 8PM
The Cleveland Guitar Trio — formerly Guys With Guitars — features three musicians, each of whom has their own thriving solo career. Founded by Doug Wood, he first enlisted bassist Darren Frate, an old mate going back to the late 80s, when they played together in jazzy folk-rock group Watts Gnu. They’ve worked together in many other projects since then, most recently in Cellocentric, while doing their own things as well. In 2017, Wood released a new CD, The Road Home, and of course, Frate plays on it.
The third member of the trio is Patrick Woods, who is from north central Indiana. He specializes in prog rock-influenced instrumental finger-style guitar. He’s been performing more than a decade and has released several albums of his music.
The trio will be returning to Lorain County Community College’s Stocker Center Cirigliano Studio Theatre where they’ll perform two evenings, featuring solo pieces and artfully rearranged covers, showcasing their influences from pop, jazz, folk and world music.
