Guster return to San Diego to support their latest album, "Easy Wonderful."

Late last year, KPRI invited their registered listeners to a free cruise on the Hornblower to see Guster. The band premiered much of its latest record, Easy Wonderful, which perfectly describes the simple and catchy tunes. Now Guster are on a full tour to support the record and will certainly give another great show to their loyal San Diego fan base. If that's not enough to sell you on the show, be sure to get there early for the return of Good Old War. The band has performed in San Diego nearly half a dozen times in the past year, and every single show is pretty magical.
