Founded in 1991 by guitarists/vocalists Jim Brunberg and Jeff Pehrson, the San Francisco-based group sometimes consists of the two men as a duo, while at other times it includes Sam Johnston on keyboards and harmonica, Mark Abbott on drums and Chad Heise on bass.
The other concert, Nov. 29 at the same time and venue, is the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, an instrumental ensemble known for eclectic programs and dynamic musical interplay. The group plays "transcriptions" of master concert works and interpretations of contemporary and world music. This performance is in collaboration with the San Jose Guitar Society.
