Just over six years ago to the day, we heard about this relatively unknown band from Connecticut named Goose who was allegedly about to burst onto the jam-rock scene via a breakout performance at the upcoming 2019 Peach Festival. If that visionary had also mentioned that Goose would also sell out Madison Square Garden in June 2025, we would not have believed it, despite how fresh their sound was at that time.

The Connecticut based jam rock meets indie groove outfit known as Goose returned to the modern Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica for round two in "Show-hio." Despite a torrential downpour that occurred before the show began, the band lit up the iconic Cleveland waterfront nestled on the famous Erie Canal. Night two was certainly an extension of night one, and included a version of their original "Tumble" for the ages.

Goose returned to Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica in Cleveland, OH, on June 19, 2025, to kick off what proved to be an electrifying two-night stand. Performances by the band in Ohio have been dubbed “Show-hio,” as they always rise to the occasion in the Buckeye State. This first night was no exception, with the group delivering a handful of infrequently played tunes along with a four-song, second-set throwdown.

All Good Now Day Two began without a hitch, despite the threat of inclement weather. While rain did fall in the afternoon, it was far less than predicted, allowing the bands to relax and focus on the music. Tonight’s lineup featured inspired performances by both Goose and Lawrence, among other jam-friendly acts.

Last weekend, the Connecticut-based jam thrill ride known as Goose doled out two solid nights of high energy and creativity to the Colorado Front Range. Making their way back to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre outside of Denver nearly one year after their debut run at the venue, the slimmed-down quartet brought everything fans have come to expect and more.

Jam band darlings Goose played to an enthusiastic crowd for the first of two shows at San Francisco’s Masonic Auditorium on Tuesday night. Following the prickly departure of percussionist Jeff Arevalo earlier this year, the Masonic shows marked the first appearance by Goose-is-now-a-quartet within San Francisco city limits.

Goose returned to the Moody Center on December 31, 2024, to close out the year with a bang at a show billed as a formal event. The band donned button-up shirts, ties, slacks, capes, and masquerade masks reminiscent of The Phantom of the Opera. These masks, along with roses, were handed out to the crowd as they entered the venue.

After taking a year off from performing on New Year’s, Goose returned to Austin, Texas, for the third time in their career and for their sixth New Year’s run, which included a performance on December 31. They chose the 15,000-seat Moody Center ATX—located in the heart of the University of Texas and home to the Texas Longhorns basketball teams—to host the event.

Goose returned for the second night of Goosemas XI at the North Charleston Coliseum and delivered even more twists and turns. They kept fans on their toes with an unpredictable set, despite revisiting a theme they had executed multiple times before.

The end of the year, along with Goosemas, is upon us once again. It’s hard to believe how fast 2024 flew—and flew it did. Goose delivered the first night of the bingo-themed Goosemas XI without a hitch at the North Charleston Coliseum on Friday, December 13th, much to the delight of the fans. The show included the mystery of the bingo balls, which featured a couple of first-time-played covers.
