Guster – Tufts’-Own Alumni Musical Sensation – Is Heading For A Radio Station Near You
Sam Goody’s Request Magazine Explores The Lives And Talent Of Alumni Trio.

Medford/Somerville, Mass. Donning lab coats and safety glasses, Tufts alums Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller and Brian Rosenworcel, aka Guster, add a health dose of excitement to a University chemistry lab. The trio has a lot to be excited about. Their newest CD is finished, their popularity continues to grow steadily and they are about to be the cover story for the October edition of Sam Goody’s Request Magazine.

   Request’s Jonathan Perry tells the story of three college freshmen who met in 1991 during Tufts’ Orientation Week and began a music group with an exciting past and a limitless future. Since forming Guster, the bandmates have played for Conan O’Brien, the crowds of Woodstock ’99 and countless thousands of young fans around the country.

   Describing the band’s return to their alma mater for the interview, Perry writes, “Even at high noon on a sweltering summer afternoon, Tufts University feels bucolic, a tranquil college located just outside of Boston. Gently sloping lawns and shade trees dot a campus of old-world brick buildings and winding paths. At the moment, the members of the Boston-based, bass-less trio Guster are goofing around on one of those walkways in the midst of a photo shoot at their alma mater, hamming it up for the camera. They’ve got their arms draped around each other, and they chatter animatedly about a lecture they’re pretending they just attended. This is Guster at play, with a cheesy, TV-commercial silliness that’s almost self-mocking.”
