The Guitar Trifecta

In sports parlance, a Trifecta is defined as a run of three wins. In music, the Guitar Trifecta features award-winning guitarists Lloyd Gregory, Carl Lockett, and Eddie Pasternak, a collective of three true champions of their instrument.

Formed in the spring of 2018, the members of the Guitar Trifecta have each individually established impressive careers as band leaders and recording artists, while also performing and/or recording with many of music’s legends and icons, including Chuck Mangione, Randy Crawford, Hank Crawford, Joey DeFrancesco (Carl Lockett), Martha Reeves, Harvey Mason, Joe Sample, Stanley Clarke, George Duke (Lloyd Gregory), the Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands (Eddie Pasternak), and many others.

The distinct voice of each member, from the soulful and melodic grooves of Lloyd Gregory, to the exhilarating creativity of Carl Lockett, and the style and personality of Eddie Pasternak, combines to create the type of musical conversations that Wes Montgomery would listen in on.

We strongly recommend buying tickets in advance for this show, as the group usually sells out. :)

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.

Doors open one half hour before show time. We accept cash or Venmo only at the door.

The Back Room is an all-ages, BYOB (for those 21+) space, dedicated to (mostly) acoustic music of all kinds. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages. The venue is ADA accessible. If you need more information or have any questions, please call us: #510-381-1997.
