Joe Pisapia performs with Guster’s Ryan Miller and others during 2008’s Ships & Dip Cruise

Last month, multi-instrumentalist Joe Pisapia left Guster to tour, record and write with k. d. lang. Just a few shows into their first show without him in 7 years, the members of Guster performed in Pisapia’s hometown of Nashville, TN at the War Memorial Auditorium this past Friday. He also emerged at the end of the show to play the first song he co-wrote with the band, “Jesus On the Radio.” Guster will appear at Columbus, OH’s Newport Music Hall on October 8.
