Adam Gardner

While we’re on the subject of stocking environmentally conscious food while on tour, it may be a good time to discuss how Guster’s Adam Gardner fuels himself on the road.

The singer and guitarist spoke with Maria Rodale for a Q & A featured at the Huffington Post, where Gardner revealed the importance of buying organic food as an environmentalist.

Guster’s Adam Gardner is the face of the Green Music Group’s latest challenge to eat local, and while he’s one of the leading forces behind this campaign, he has his wife to thank for greening another area of his diet.

“It was really my wife’s environmentalism that rubbed off on me!” Gardner told Good. “Once we started living together, suddenly I was eating vegetarian, composting, walking everywhere, running the laundry machine in off-peak hours. It was the dichotomy between how I was living at home and what life on the road was like with my band (gas–guzzling tour bus, trash all over the place at the end of a show, awful fast food, etc.) that sparked the idea for Reverb in the first place.”

Green Music Group is a group of musicians, industry leaders and fans dedicated to spreading the environmental news throughout the industry.

Every two weeks on their website, Green Music Group, will present a challenge to fans and from now until June 18, Guster is challenging their fans to eat local at least once a day.

Lead singer and founding member of Green Music Group, Adam Gardner, speaks in the video.

“I feel personally connected to this challenge because I just recently joined a community supported agricultural program. And it was just amazing how much better the food tasted. The fact that I knew who was growing it, I met the farmer and knew that I was supporting that local farmer and that local economy just felt good to do.”

Gardner’s got a point about the taste. Compare fresh, local, crisp green beans to those brought halfway across the country or frozen or in a can.

No competition!

Once you try eating local, we promise, as Guster would say, “Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa,” it will “never be the same again.”
