Goose played an intimate and exhilarating two-hour one-set show at New York City club Racket NYC last night ahead of their sold-out Madison Square Garden show taking place this Saturday, June 28. Playing mostly songs from the band’s latest full-length, Everything Must Go, guitarist/vocalist Rick Mitarotonda, guitarist/keys/vocalist Peter Anspach, bassist Trevor Weekz, and drummer Cotter Ellis came in white hot from being on an epic nationwide tour that started at BottleRock Napa Valley festival May 25 and ends this Sunday June 29 for a very special homecoming return to New Haven, CT’s Westville Bowl.

Goose – who recently performed live on CBS Saturday Morning alongside a featured interview with legendary journalist Anthony Mason (streaming HERE) – have been celebrating Everything Must Go with perhaps the most momentous live run of the hard-working band’s career thus far, highlighted by their first-ever headline show at New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden (June 28). The “Everything Must Go Summer Tour” featured two-night stands at San Francisco, CA’s The Masonic and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, CO. Other highlights included two-night stands at Chesterfield, MO’s The Factory, and Cleveland, OH’s Jacobs Pavilion.

 

Upcoming months will also see Goose making an additional array of top-billed festival appearances, including Newport, RI’s Newport Folk Festival (July 25), Park City, UT’s Park City Song Summit (August 14-16), Fredericton, NB’s Harvest Music Festival (September 12), and Live Oak, FL’s Suwanee Hulaween (October 30-November 2). In addition, Goose will join Dave Matthews Band as special guest on the closing night of his three-show run at George, WA’s The Gorge Amphitheatre on Sunday, August 31.
