Surf, rock, and blues instrumentals

Three on a Match is an instrumental trio featuring Wes Thompson on guitar, José China on bass, and David Ortiz on drums. We play covers and originals centered on surf guitar and spinning out into rock, blues, folk, and fusion jazz.

We are based in the eastern foothill towns of suburban Los Angeles, specifically Claremont and Rancho Cucamonga.
