December 2019

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. 

As thousands scurry away from Madison Square Garden around 11 PM on Sunday, there are so many options in New York City. The city that “never sleeps” will be extra electric over the final four days of 2019. After Phish, many after-parties go on until the wee hours of the morning.

The annual late fall Hot Tuna run through the Northeastern US is in full swing when I cross paths with the band’s tour itinerary in Poughkeepsie, NY. This night is different than the previous electric Hot Tuna 50th anniversary show we attended earlier in the year. This show will be an all-acoustic evening with intricate musicianship and a long way from over forty years ago (11/26/76) and the power-trio ear-splitting days of the 1970s at the Palladium on 14th Street in Manhattan.

Throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, legendary jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock engaged in a prolonged period of experimentation across sounds and recording formats, over the course of several CBS/Sony albums, made only available in Japan. 1979's ‘Directstep’ was one such album, one that made use of a new form of recording technology called ‘Direct-To-Disc.’ This method recorded masters in real-time to acetate discs, rendering incredibly high-fidelity LP pressings but sacrificing the ability to edit or overdub.

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.
