Through relentless touring and humorous stage banter, Guster has developed a strong, grassroots fan base that has continued to spread rapidly with a strong presence on the Internet. Successfully defying the typical industry pigeonholing, the Boston trio developed a unique sound with two acoustic guitars and a bongo set. They write short, infectiously catchy tunes and through word of mouth alone, the band sold over 40,000 copies of their independent debut Parachute and their second effort, Goldfly.
