Guster Slings Hooks and Harmonies, With Bongos, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Jun 3, 2024

The alternative rock band Guster, formed over bongos and acoustic guitars at Tufts University in 1991, has built its reputation on their striking vocal harmonies, their close connection to their fans, and their sense of humor. So in the wake of Taylor Swift’s bank-busting Eras tour, Guster embarked on their own tour, which they called "We Also Have Eras" – a reminder of their enduring presence and road warrior work ethic on the music scene for over 30 years. Guster has a new record out, their first in 5 years, called Ooh La La, and it brings the band back to our studio for a live set, with bongos.

Set list: 1. Keep Going 2. Black Balloon 3. Satellite (with Max Fine, piano)
