Goose

A lively capacity crowd erupted as Goose kicked off their 2020 winter/spring tour with a high-octane rendition of their original “Drive,” followed by a seamless segue into Wes Montgomery classic “Switchin’.” Attendees maintained their focus throughout the first set, as colorful solos by Rich Mitarotonda (guitar, vocals) and Peter Anspach (guitar, keys, vocals) carried “Lead the Way” and “Elizabeth.” For many, the highlight of set one was the 13-minute rendition of the Bill Withers classic “Lovely Day,” followed by a rousing rendition of “Honeybee.,” debuted last month at Goosemas.

Umphrey’s McGee are no strangers to the high-elevation rock and roll workout that is Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, having hosted raucous evenings as the headlining band numerous times over the past decade. With no signs of slowing down, UM are charging right into the next ten years with a three-night run at the fan- and band-favorite venue on June 19, 20, and 21, 2020. And like any good party, this one would be incomplete without a host of funky friends.

LOCKN’ has announced an extraordinary initial lineup for the upcoming special edition of the beloved camping festival. Set for June 19-21, 2020, the 8th annual LOCKN’ will be an all-star celebration of Phil Lesh’s upcoming 80th birthday, taking place as always at Infinity Downs & Oak Ridge Farm, LOCKN’s 387-acre property located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Arrington, VA.

On the evenings of January 17 and 18, the high flying indie-groove band Goose joined musical supergroup Dead and Company at their third annual concert series, “Playing in the Sand.” The all-inclusive event was hosted by the Moon Palace Resort in Riviera Cancun Mexico.

Goose was a last-minute addition, contributing three sets to a sold-out Playing in the Sand. The groovy gaggle landed on the main stage for an unannounced welcome party for a notoriously passionate deadhead fan base, who flock across the world to see their beloved music legends perform in an intimate setting.

At midnight on December 26th, Norwalk, CT based indie-groove band Goose released their fourth studio single of 2019, “Wysteria Lane.” The track is a whimsical sojourn that dissects fleeting memories of the past in anticipation of a capricious future. 

On Saturday, December 21st, Norwalk, CT based indie-groove band Goose hosted Goosemas VI at the historic Wall Street Theatre. This year’s sold-out hometown show was the capstone to a year of incredible growth, as the quartet progressed from playing at small bars to nationally renowned theaters in a matter of months.

Goose announced their plans to collect canned and dry goods at their sold-out Goosemas concert on December 21 at the Wall Street Theatre in Norwalk, CT. The food drive will benefit Open Doors, a social service organization and shelter in Norwalk that has been providing support for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness since 1983.

Last Thursday, the Connecticut-based quartet Goose found its way back to the familiar nesting grounds of Fort Collins, Colorado and the Aggie Theatre. Playing to over 300 patrons, the band and its loyal flock took flight for two sets and nearly three hours of originals, covers, and enough improvised jam in between to suspend the belief that human flight is impossible.
