Formed in 1991, Guster is known for its live performances and humor. They began practice sessions while attending Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. The members met during the freshmen Wilderness Orientation program in 1991, playing publicly together as a trio two months later in the common area of the Lewis Hall dormitory. The band stayed "underground" for its first two full-length albums, Parachute (1995) and Goldfly (1997), but broke into the musical mainstream in 1999 with its third studio album, Lost and Gone Forever, with the single "Fa Fa," which made it onto the Adult Top 40. The band enjoyed moderate success on the charts with Keep It Together, its fourth album, with two singles in the Adult Top 40 ("Careful" and "Amsterdam"). A variety of television shows and movies have featured the band's music, including Martian Child, which featured their song "Satellite." Guster's tours were originally local but began to spread as the band gained popularity. In 1999, Guster gave its first performance in Canada, followed by a 2004 tour in Britain. Guster released the Easy Wonderful in 2010 and Evermotion in 2015. They continue to perform everywhere there’s a performing space.
