Guster have set a January 8, 2013 release date for Guster: Live Acoustic, which is a collection of live recordings from their 2012 acoustic tour."I guess we could have called it Live at Various Theaters," says drummer Brian Rosenworcel, referencing the fact that the songs on the album were culled from many performances and not just one. "Actually, I wish we'd called it Live at Various Theaters. Is it too late to call it Live at Various Theaters?"
While the members of the band mainly stick to the acoustic guitars on Live Acoustic, the songs are fleshed out with Charlene Huang on violin and April Guthrie on cello – helping to bring out the parts and arrangements that have made Guster's studio recordings such mainstays.
Guster will also be hitting the road early in the new year, with tour dates kicking off on January 4th.
