Goose
Indie-rock jam band, Goose comes to The BayCare Sound for their Clearwater debut!
Goose is an American rock band known for its genre-blending sound, improvisational live shows, and deeply dedicated fan base. The band — Rick Mitarotonda (vocals, guitar), Peter Anspach (vocals, keys, guitar), Trevor Weekz (bass), and Cotter Ellis (drums) — has risen from performing in Connecticut basements to headlining some of the country’s most iconic venues. Blending indie-rock hooks with expansive improvisation, Goose has built its following organically through relentless touring and a strong DIY ethos, leveraging platforms like YouTube, Bandcamp, and nugs.net to connect directly with fans.
The band recently announced their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, arriving June 12, alongside lead single Good2B, a sun-soaked, high-energy introduction to the record. The release follows a prolific 2025 that saw the arrival of two studio albums, including Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon, which propelled Goose to #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart and drew praise from Rolling Stone for its balance of studio precision and live energy. Everything Must Go’s singles Give It Time and Your Direction both charted simultaneously at AAA radio, making Goose the only band to achieve this distinction.
Since recording their 2016 debut Moon Cabin in a New Hampshire barn, Goose has refined a sound that bridges thoughtful songwriting, tight musicianship, and emotional honesty. With sold-out shows at venues like Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks, Forest Hills Stadium, and Madison Square Garden, along with appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and major festivals like Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, Goose continues to cement its reputation as one of the most compelling live bands of its generation.
