Alternative rock band Guster will kick off Homecoming week at 8 p.m. at the M.A.C. Center.
The show is the fifth on the 15-date Crocs Next Step Campus Tour that kicked off last Monday at the University of Washington. Crocs has teamed with 360 Productions and Guster to support Reverb, an environmentalist
organization that works with artists to reduce the impact of touring on nature. The band’s tour bus, for example, is fueled by “green” biodiesel fuel.
Guster’s last album, Ganging Up On The Sun, debuted in the Billboard Top 200 Albums last June.
Folk pop singer Brett Dennen will open for the foursome originally from Boston.
Tickets for the show are $10 for students and $20 for non-students and are available at Ticketmaster at the M.A.C. Center.
