Goose returned to the Westville Music Bowl for the sixth time in their career to close out their Summer 2025 tour with another lights out performance. This New Haven, CT venue is like a hometown venue to them, given the proximity to their early base of Wilton, CT. They unfurled a number of fun covers as well as heated jams at the former tennis stadium turned premiere concert venue, and lived up to the adage "Never miss Goose at the Westville."

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.

This Saturday, the Hudson River Music Festival took over Croton Point Park for a full day of live music, family activities, celebration and outdoor fun. Presented by Riverfest FPS (For Pete’s Sake), Dayglo Presents, and Harper House Music Foundation and rooted in the spirit of Toshi and Pete Seeger’s folk picnics, the new festival brought together music lovers, environmental advocates, and families for a vibrant celebration.

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.

Today, the Hudson River Music Festival has announced that Grammy Award winning folk musician and activist Tom Chapin and The Chapin Sisters will join the festival lineup set for Saturday, June 14 from 11:00am-9:00pm in Croton Point Park.
