(CAMDEN, NJ) -- Guster is about to start the second leg of their "We Also Have Eras" Tour. What began as a cheeky tour name referencing that other Eras Tour quickly became a concert experience that many Guster fans hold now as their favorite Guster show ever. But before the second leg kicks off in January, the band will play two shows in New Jersey - The Sea Hear Now Festival in Asbury Park on September 14th and the XPoNential Music Festival in Camden on September 22nd.
The "We Also Have Eras" Tour is a unique theatrical performance featuring extended “Evening with Guster” sets chronicling the band’s history from 1994’s debut album, Parachute, to their most recent full-length, Ooh La La. The 16-date tour kicks off on January 24, 2025 in Philadelphia and will wrap up on February 15 in Los Angeles.
“We Also Have Eras is not your average rock concert. It’s a deep chronological journey through our music with skits, costume changes, and plenty of piss-poor acting. It was too much fun the first time and we missed a lot of important cities, so we’re rebooting it this winter. This’ll be your last chance to see this show!”
Not long before the making of their new album Ooh La La, Guster celebrated three decades together as a band—a journey that’s included landing a series of hits on the Billboard charts, working with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift, launching their own music festival, and amassing an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining, Guster’s ninth studio LP reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first inspired their formation. A major leap forward for lead vocalist Ryan Miller, guitarist Adam Gardner, drummer Brian Rosenworcel, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence, conviction, and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved.
“In all the time we’ve been together we’ve never really felt our age as a band—we’re still so hungry, still excited to create,” says Gardner. “A lot of people have told us they’re amazed at how democratic our process is, but I think that’s a big part of why we’re still able to open up this space where the ideas just flow. It also helps that we’ve built a relationship with our fans where there’s a real sense of trust and a desire for us to keep growing and keep pushing ourselves. It’s such a gift that allows us to be truly free, and to make whatever music we want to make.”
Summer 2024 has seen Guster making festival performances including at the sold-out Newport Folk Festival, which was followed by a very special series of shows commemorating the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough third album, 1999’s Lost and Gone Forever, including a triumphant sold-out date at Morrison, CO’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre backed by the Colorado Symphony that featured special guest Kevin Morby. In addition, Guster honored Lost and Gone Forever at the sixth installment of their annual On The Ocean Festival, at Thompson’s Point in guitarist Adam Gardner’s adopted hometown of Portland, ME. The band is still set to perform a much-anticipated full LP performance at Nashville, TN’s historic Ryman Auditorium on September 27. They will also be appearing at Asbury Park’s sold-out Sea Hear Now and Ocean City, MD’s Ocean’s Calling festivals.
