Guster
Guster, an American alternative rock band from Somerville, Massachusetts began playing together after meeting during a freshman Wilderness Orientation program while attending Tufts University in 1991. Founding members Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, and Brian Rosenworcel released Lost and Gone Forever twenty-five years ago this past September. The album was their third album behind Parachute (1994) and Goldfly (1997). To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of LAGF, the band played three full album shows at Red Rocks, Thompson’s Point in Portland Maine, and the Ryman Auditorium, in Nashville. Guster, while perhaps not a household name, has a loyal fanbase known as Gusterrhoids, many who follow them around the country in the vein of the Dave Matthews Band, the Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead Deadheads, and other icons of rock.
Tickets are on sale now for their We Also Have Eras Tour in 2025, the Eras bit a reference to Taylor Swift, who has her own Eras Tour, and which is also a play on the fact that they’ll be playing songs from the different eras of their run as a band.
In May, after five years without a new release, Guster came out with their ninth studio album titled Ooh La La, whose introduction to Gusterrhoids arrived in the form of the singles “Keep Going,” and “All Day.” Stephen Jabaut, of The Indy Review, says of Ooh La La that it “plays in realms of delight and equanimity. Its themes remind[ing] us to focus on the easy and wonderful parts of life,” which is an appropriate description of most of the songs on Guster’s decades’-long catalog of Alternative Rock.
