[POSTPONED: January 14, 2021] Guster / Ben Kweller [moved to August 10, 2022]
COME ON!
In March of last year, Guster was supposed to come to NJ to play An Evening of Acoustic Music & Improv–a tour that had been going great.
Then it was cancelled.
The band waited almost a year to reschedule a NJ show–who knows if they were going to do an acoustic show or not. (Probably not as the last show all tickets were seated).
And then the jackasses who didn’t get vaccinated caused the virus to mutate and infect all of us.
I tested positive last week and tonight was going to be the date I was allowed back into society. I don’t blame the band for cancelling–literally everyone is catching it. I blame the idiots who trust Facebook more than science.
Who knows when they’ll want to come back–although come back they will because Guster doesn’t give up!
UPDATE: Until Maryann commented, I didn’t realize (or I forgot) there was a special guest (I didn’t look at this poster very clearly, obviously). I know Ben Kweller from the compilation The Bens, which has Ben Folds and Ben Lee on it. I didn’t think I knew much else from Ben Kweller, until I just saw that he sings lead on “I Hope Tomorrow is LIke Today.” which, how did I not know that?
I hope that he is still the opener for the rescheduled date.
Oh wow, I was following you for a long time and never knew you were in NJ! I used to live in Montclair myself. I wanted to go to this show because I love the support act – Ben Kweller. Then time escaped me and I never got tickets. Now that they canceled, perhaps I’ll go to the next one. (P.S. I’m not a jackass, I am vaccinated!) 🙂
Hi! Yeah, I’m in Central Jersey. I wind up in Philly a lot because it’s easier to get to than NYC. Montclair isn’t really close, but it’s pretty easy to get to! I know of Ben Kweller a little bit, but I haven’t really listened to his stuff. I do hope he is still the opening act when they reschedule. I actually didn’t know there was an opening act. I’ll have to add it now.
Maybe we’ll see each other there!
