John Guster

Juan (a.k.a John Guster) is a fan of 50's rock'n'roll / rockabilly music since his early teens. As the time went by, that passion led him to try to play that music and start to fool around with a guitar and sing a couple of songs. He was soon playing with friends in various bands trying to put together an act decent enough to play regularly on a stage.That goal was achieved in early 1993 when he grouded the band the "Thunder Jets". For the next 5 years they play some 150 gigs, mostly in Switzerland, but also at international events.However, at the end of 1998, Juan had to stop the band for professional reasons. From there on he stopped playing for a while and concentrated on recording other bands with the JCR Recording Service and releasing records on his label Blue Lake Records .But the stage appeal was never far away, and in the early 2000's, Juan was soon appearing as a guest guitarist/singer with other bands or as a replacement act with various musicians.Plans to put up a band together with fix musicians were often made without leading to something concrete. On the other hand, Juan realized that being able to sing and play the guitar at the same time, would let him play a gig mostly anywhere, as long as he could find an experimented enough rockabilly drummer and bass player.This led him to decide to federate his stage appearances under a solo name and finally came up with John Guster.He relies now mostly on his band The Engineers, but also appears abroad with international musicians from Switzerland, France, Spain and Portugal.Thanks to them John Guster pursues his original dream of playing live rock'n'roll live and keeps on sharing his passion for 50's music. ROCK ON !
