Before COVID-19 put an end to live music as we know it, Goose, a five-piece jam band from Norwalk was selling out shows across the Northeast.
But as the quarantine drags on, the band is actively converting its musical skills, business prowess and road-dog reputation into livestreaming gold, by programming short, creatively-themed “tours” that actually turn a profit.
Over consecutive weekends in June, Goose livestreamed eight sets of music from a borrowed barn in Fairfield County. Calling it Bingo Tour, the band assembled each set of music in real time, by pulling balls labeled with song titles or specific instructions (”20-plus-minute jam,” “no drums”) out of a bingo roller.
