Goose
Goose, formed in 2014, consists of singer and guitarist Rick Mitarotonda, drummer Ben Atkind, bassist Trevor Weekz, and keyboardist, guitarist and singer Peter Anspach.
The band garnered praise for their performance at the 2019 edition of The Peach Music Festival, which gained them popularity in the jam band scene and has been viewed over 341,000 times on Youtube as of March 2021. The band’s rise in popularity resulted in their booking of larger venues for their 2020 tour, such as the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, but they canceled the tour after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down live music performances worldwide. Instead, the band livestreamed eight concerts without an audience from a barn in Virginia in June 2020, called the Bingo Tour. The Bingo Tour grossed more than $100,000 for the band.
Following the pandemic, Goose booked a series of performances at large venues in 2021 and 2022, such as Radio City Music Hall in New York, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, and their first-ever arena concerts at the Mohegan Sun Arena in their native Connecticut.
Anspach personally mixes the band’s live performances for release shortly after the band finishes their concerts
