Goose released their debut album and quickly soared to new heights, captivating audiences with their unique blend of irresistible songcraft, fluid musicianship, and spirited improvisational performances. Over the years, they have played countless shows, steadily building a fervent fan following.
The Connecticut-based quintet, thanks to their critically acclaimed third studio album, Dripfield. Featuring hypnotic tracks like “Hungersite,” which spent several weeks in the top 10 at Triple A radio outlets nationwide, the album was a phenomenon. It debuted at #2 on Billboard’s "Top New Artist Albums" chart and received critical acclaim from national outlets such as Rolling Stone, which praised it as "both sweet headphone ear candy and the foundation for a perfect live peak."
Renowned for their exuberant grooves and incendiary bursts of musical exploration, Goose has spent much of the past decade on an extensive tour schedule that includes sold-out headline shows at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, and New York City's legendary Radio City Music Hall.

Recent highlights include a sold-out, five-night run at the historic Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York, the 10th annual Goosemas holiday celebration at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Vaginia, and television appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and CBS Saturday Morning.

Fan reviews:Goose was the main act at the Moody Center. They continue across the United States with the last stop at the All Good Now in Columbia, Maryland on June 14, 2025.
My youngest son introduced me to Goose a few years ago, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since. I was lucky enough to catch their first show at Red Rocks and was instantly hooked. Goose is simply fantastic. Their musicianship, energy, and ability to take you on a jam band’s delightful journey are unmatched. Every show is a unique experience, filled with breathtaking moments and improvisation that keeps you on your toes. If you haven’t seen them live yet, do yourself a favor and make it happen. Goose isn’t just a band, they’re an experience.
A band beyond description! Goose was amazing!
The most fun you can handle. Loved the energy of the crowd , the venue, the music was awesome.
Good god do these cats put on a fantastic show, unbelievable musicians, jam wise, song choice wise. The lights and production are on another level, literally otherworldly stuff here go see them asap.
Went both nights. Overall both nights added up to one of the best music experiences I’ve ever had and I go to a lot of concerts! One of the best things going in live music currently, and are good as they’ve ever been. Go see them while they’re on fire.
