The band is Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (vocals, drums). Their music \u2014 a deft union of indie-rock hooks, sprawling improvisation, and driving rhythm \u2014 has propelled them from performing in Connecticut basements to headlining some of the most revered stages in the country. Known for their strong DIY ethos, Goose has grown organically through relentless touring and utilizing platforms like YouTube, Bandcamp, and nugs.net to share live performances and connect with fans.<\/p>\n<p>Goose\u2019s latest release, Everything Must Go, is the first release since 2022\u2019s critically acclaimed Dripfield. Everything Must Go marks the band\u2019s evolution since its inception in 2014. Drawing from the feel of its live performances, the album features a carnivalesque cast of characters \u2014 primarily songs written throughout the band&#8217;s recent years of growth, including re-imagined live staples and songs that capture the band\u2019s evolving, dynamic sound.<\/p>\n<p>Since their earliest days recording 2016\u2019s Moon Cabin in a barn in northern New Hampshire, Goose has been developing their unique approach to writing and improvising, achieving a rare balance between thoughtfully crafted songs, tight musicianship, and emotional honesty. 2022 saw the release of their critically acclaimed third LP, Dripfield. That album earned them #2 on Billboard\u2019s \u201cTop New Artist Albums\u201d chart as well as praise from Rolling Stone, who called it \u201cboth sweet headphone ear candy and the foundation for a perfect live peak.\u201d The accolades were yet another feather in the band\u2019s cap, having sold out venues like Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Forest Hills Stadium, performed on the likes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Saturday Morning, and played their share of iconic music fests, including Bonnaroo Music &amp; Arts Festival, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and many more. Through their commitment to forward momentum, Goose continues to remind us that music isn\u2019t simply played \u2014 it\u2019s felt, lived, and shared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONNECT WITH GOOSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | YOUTUBE<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p>Press Contacts:<\/p>\n<p>Ken Weinstein<\/p>\n<p>weinstein@bighassle.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goose has unwrapped plans for its 12th annual Goosemas holiday celebration, set for December 12-13 at Providence, RI\u2019s Amica Mutual Pavilion.
