When the coronavirus grounded concerts and festivals, rising jam band Goose wasn’t grounded long. The four skilled musicians from woodsy Wilton, Connecticut, kept on playing and live-streaming performances, virtual meet-and-greets, and generally staying in touch with their growing flock of loyal fans drawn to the band’s improvisational rock that can stretch into 20-minute jams.
This month, the band will nest in a barn in Fairfield County, Connecticut, to livestream their “Summer 2020 Virtual Bingo Tour” between June 19 – 28. Setlists created from bingo balls drawn on stage at the “Goose Community Rec Center.”
Leading up to the event, Goose will host online events, share videos, offer tips “on everything from cooking and gardening to yoga and fitness,” one reporter wrote later. “It’s basically giving them a week of Goose, instead of whatever else is going on in this world. It’s almost like a little vacation,” Peter Anspach, the band’s keyboardist, guitarist, and vocalist, told the reporter.
