Guster is an American alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1991.
Founding members Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, and Brian Rosenworcel came about to begin practice
sessions while attending Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.
The members met during the freshmen Wilderness Orientation program in August 1991,
playing publicly together as a trio two months later at the Midnight Cafe coffee house set
in the common area of the Lewis Hall dormitory. While attending Tufts, the band lived at
139 College Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Guster Quotes:
"We'll be bummed if we go under before we have a hit, but I'll only be disappointed if we don't do what we could have to reach everyone."

I want to be home. I haven't been home in almost four months now and I miss my bed, my city, and my girl. Ya know I just miss my life and stuff a little bit, but I love touring.
-Ryan
I like architecture. I think, I think being an architect would be cool because it's like arts, and math, and science, and engineering, and I'm kinda getting into architecture.
-Ryan
I like the single malt scotch. I've been drinking a lot of scotch lately, but I have to be careful because I can't drink every night because of my throat, it sucks.
