Goose: Sold Out at The Eastern (Night 1)
Goose is an American-indie groove/jam band that hails from Norwalk, Connecticut and has been touring all over since their inception in 2014. The band now consists of Rick Mitarotonda (guitar/vocals), Trevor Weeks (bass), Ben Atkind (drums), Jeff Arevalo (percussion/vocals), and Peter Anspach (keyboards/guitar/vocals). They have released two (2) LPs: Moon Cabin (2016) & Shenanigans Nite Club (2021) and one (1) EP: Night Lights (2020). Just a heads up, they are selling Shenanigans Nite Club LPs at their merch booth nightly while on the Fall Tour. So, do yourself a solid and grab a copy of the record before they sell out!
When Goose announced a Fall Tour for 2021 and had two (2) Atlanta dates added at The Eastern, I knew that Concerthopper needed to be there to document this performance. Not only would this be my first-time catching Goose live, but according to Peter Anspach, this would be their first time in Atlanta performing. So, the two (2) dates made more sense, especially after they sold out within minutes after first going on sale to the public some months ago.
I did not know what to expect from the band’s live performance, but after talking to some die-hard Goose fans outside the venue I knew that this was about to be a memorable night. Granted, this was also the first time I attended a sold-out show at The Eastern, I was pleasantly, surprised to see everyone still enjoying themselves despite having very, little room to dance on the floor. Even though the Eastern was at maximum capacity, this venue is prepared for such occasions and it did not feel as if we were all packed like sardines in a tin can.
