With just a couple of days and as many shows to go in 2021, Goose is slated to wrap up its second consecutive best year ever at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, IL (12/30, 12/31). Goose will bid adieu to the rollercoaster that was 2021 in front of an estimated 2,500 fans on each of two back-to-back nights in the Windy City.
42 shows. 23 venues. 21 states. Five festivals. Three “Factory Fictions”. Two movies. One album. And Fred. 2021.
Just as 2020 ushered in a global pandemic, 2021 was slated to heed the hero’s call, heralding a long-awaited return to normalcy. Whether or not it happened exactly that way depends less on who you ask and more on how you define normalcy. The early winter months of 2021 were a barren time for live music as mass indoor gatherings were an impossibility due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so creativity continued to rule the day for the live music industry and performance-starved musicians.
