JAMESTOWN, NY – A nationally touring rock band that’s been featured on alternative rock radio for nearly two decades in coming to Jamestown this weekend.

Boston-based alt rock outfit Guster will play the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 27. Joining the group is with Mikaela Davis of Rochester.

The concert is being put on by Spirit Animal promotions and Southern Tier Distillery. The event is also made possible by the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) and the Fund for Downtown Programming.

Guster’s live shows channel their infectious positive energy into raucous performances that have fans singing along to songs old and new with unbridled enthusiasm, while always promising plenty of eclectic surprises. Guster’s first new album in four years – Look Alive – was released earlier this year to widespread praise. NPR Music called it “sparkling” and Relix said it was “their greatest stylistic leap yet.”

Rochester harpist and songwriter Mikaela Davis joins the bill after recently sharing the stage with Bob Weir at Shea’s in Buffalo this past spring and is now heavily featured in many summer festivals.

Tickets start at just $11 and are available at www.RegLenna.com as well as the Reg Lenna Box Office (716) 484-7070 and the 3rd on 3rd Gallery at 108 E 3rd Street.
