Featuring three young guitar virtuosos, Los Angeles-based New West Guitar Group is a premier acoustic/electric guitar ensemble. Their original music combines the foundation of jazz with elements of rock and folk, blending the different timbres of acoustic and electric guitars to create a unique sound, ranging from delicate introspection to exhilarating swing and gritty blues.

Now featuring guitarists John Storie, Perry Smith, and Jeff Stein, the trio has won plenty of recognition since its founding five years ago, receiving the coveted Thornton Protégé Grant from USC and performing in Japan and Germany as official musical ambassadors of Los Angeles. The group continues to perform at major venues throughout Canada, Japan, Europe, and the United States.

The trio's most recent CD is Sleeping Lady.
