As part of the weekly series here on the Sixthman Blog, we’ll be highlighting a Mayercraft Carrier artist every Monday afternoon from now until we set sail on on this floating musical fiesta on March 27th, 2009! For those of you newbies, this will give you a chance to get to know some artists that you might not have heard. Without further ado, let’s shine that spotlight on our last (but certainly not least) band, GUSTER!
Guster
I’m going to start with saying that I love Guster. The band was formed back in the early 90′s at Tufts University in Massachusetts (GO RED SOX!). Although this is their first Mayercraft Carrier, they’re no strangers to Sixthman Cruises; they were performers on Ships N’ Dip I and III. We’re beyond excited to have them on Mayercraft Carrier 2, because they bring so much fun and excitement to the stage - it’s impossible not to get caught up in their show. If you miss their performances on the ship, you should be ashamed of yourself!
Here are a few of my favorite songs by them.
Great video: One Man Wrecking Machine.
Amsterdam (live):
One of their older songs: Barrel of Gun

We missed them GREATLY on S&DV this year ….I discovered Guster back in 98 when I was at Umass-Amherst — they played lots of shows in the area and I was able to catch them live a few times. I hope the Mayercraft folks truly enjoy them and Guster gains TONS of new (rabid) fans !! One of my faves. Hey Steve – GO SOX!
