Two tickets to Guster on Friday May, 6, 2011 at 8pm at The Casino Ballroom in Hampton, NH from our friends at WXRV 92.5 The River.

Ever since their humble beginnings at Tufts University, Guster have always sought to outdo themselves. They sell out Radio City Music Hall one year and perform with the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall the next. They sell out a 33-date college tour, and this past spring founded the eco-friendly Campus Consciousness Tour, with buses powered by biodiesel and performances powered by wind power. it is in this overachieving band's nature to one-up itself.

Few would have predicted the evolution that Guster has undergone, but then, Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Brian Rosenworcel and Joe Pisapia have been quietly confounding expectations since Guster began recording 15 years ago. While critics scoffed that a college bandÂA? with two acoustic guitars and some bongos could never amount to much, Guster steadily evolved into a group that creates smartly crafted guitar pop with ease. Many people might have dismissed them upon first impression years ago, but Guster is the rare artist that demands to be heard with new ears. And with their new album Easy Wonderful, the quartet has made a piece of art that rewards each listen. Guster have created the best album of their lives.
