Guster celebrates 10 year anniversary of Lost and Gone Forever

Guster will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of its mainstream breakthrough album, Lost and Gone Forever, this fall with an eight city tour. The band will make its first tour stop, and only southern date, at Charlotte's Neighborhood Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 28.

Billed as a "very special evening with Guster," the shows will have no opening band and the group will play two sets—one being the album in full. "Yes, even Two Points for Honesty and Rainy Day," writes vocalist Adam Gardner on the band's website.

Talk of this tour reminds me how fast the last 10 years has gone by and takes me back to the first time I saw Guster — right here in Chapel Hill, opening for Barenaked Ladies at the Dean Dome. We drove out with a group of friends from UNCG for the show and while I didn't know who they were at the time, Guster was in pretty consistent rotation on my Winamp player (yay early 2000s!) for the rest of college — definitely longer than the Barenaked Ladies lasted.

While they group has gone through some cosmetic changes over the last decade, namely expanding from a trio to a quartet, it will be fun to take a walk down memory lane and watch them embrace their roots.

Tickets for all the shows go on sale this Friday, July 17, at 10am. Tickets to the Charlotte show are $20 GA/$35 VIP.
