Description: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - 9:00pm Live Nation presents *Guster Tickets: $29.50/in advance; $32/day-of-show Guster formed in 1991, when Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, and Brian Rosenworcel first crossed paths at college orientation as freshmen at Tufts University. Originally called Gus, the trio played shows around the Boston area before releasing an independent album, Parachute, in 1994. By 1996, they’d elongated their name to Guster and recorded a second album, Goldfly, which netted the band a contract with Sire Records. Sire reissued Goldfly in 1998, and the bandmates returned to the recording studio later that year to work with producer Steve Lillywhite. Long and Gone Forever, released in 1999, became the band’s unofficial breakthrough album, cracking the Billboard charts and spinning off a hit single, “Fa Fa.” Long and Gone Forever was downright lush, with strings and horn sections beefing up the band's standard mix of bongos, vocal harmonies, and folk-pop songwriting. Guster went even further with their follow-up effort, Keep It Together, which featured drum kit percussion and contributions from a talented multi-instrumentalist named Joe Pisapia. The album was released during the summer of 2003, and cracked the Top 40. Meanwhile, the band also released a “fake” version of the record, The Meowstro Sings -- Guster's Keep It Together, in which Guster’s vocal tracks were replaced with simulated cat meows. The so-called “meow mixes” were released online in an attempt to battle illegal file sharing.
