Goose
The jam band’s most thematically focused album yet turns digital overload into anxious, shape-shifting rock.
This past weekend, Goose wished fans a festive holiday season with a Victorian-inspired carnival extravaganza.
Goose’s three nights seemed a bit hit-and-miss, which is not unusual for jam-bands, although that only made highpoints more exhilarating.
As a major destination fest only a short ride south of Boston, Levitate still remains true to the reggae/jam culture of its surf-shop community.
Goose has seen its stock in the jam-band world soar at a pace unseen since… well, Phish.
The group’s exuberance makes it easy to like, an enthusiasm that is compounded by the quality of its live shows and its recordings.
“It was a little frustrating at first, but we’re figuring out how to give music to the people that need it right now.”
