Guster formed in 1991, and has since released 9 records, had a Top 40 hit, a gold record, played Woodstock 99, and started their own label (Ocho Mule, through Nettwerk), and is still growing today. We sat down with lead singer Ryan Miller, who is also a film composer, sometimes writer for The Atlantic, budding Broadway composer/writer and a former host on Vermont Public TV. We talk with Ryan about managing so many spinning plates, running towards fear, parallels between a music career and entrepreneurship (iterating, failing, learning, improving, and then repeating), managing personalities and wants over a 33-year career, and so much more.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:GusterRyan Miller"Making Friends with Ryan Miller" - Vermont TV"Bardo" - Vermont TVReverb (non-profit)Ryan's Atlantic ArticleJoe PisapiaEp 45 - Glen PhillipsPJ Vogt - Molly RingwaldNicole AtkinsEp 38 - John DoeMike GordonNoah KahanGrace PotterBonny Light HorsemanClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.
