Summer isn't complete to me without a little outdoor concert action, which is exactly why I bought my ticket to see Guster at Summerstage in Central Park back in April. Summerstage is the venue where the ABC morning show Good Morning America hosts their super early Friday morning concerts, but never convincing myself to get up early enough to check one out, I was excited to see one of my all-time favorite bands play on the venerated stage.

For those of you who do not know Guster, I'd highly recommend you load up their Pandora channel or even better, pull up all of their albums on Spotify, and begin your education. With their marvelous harmonies and use of the not-often-seen banjo, their music often inspires me to live a happier life. Some of my favorite songs include
Demons, Two Points for Honesty and
Center of Attention, to name a few.
Summerstage was actually a great venue to see Guster, because even if you didn't get there super early to grab a bleacher seat at the back, you could find a spot in the standing room section where the stage is mere yards away and you can bop one of the several beach balls floating over the crowd. The only complaint I'd have about the venue was that if you wanted to buy food or a beer, it was near impossible to not only squeeze through the crowds to get to the food carts, but then definitely impossible to get back to your friends. However, keep your eye out for Summerstage ticket sales next year and be sure to catch your favorite band so that you too can bask in the glory of watching a concert and a sunset at the same time.
