Earlier this summer, Rolling Stone talked to Goose — the country’s hottest jam band — about adapting their live sound for the studio to record their album Dripfield. This past weekend, we caught up with the band on the road during their tour with Trey Anastasio Band, a double bill that had jam fans spinning in the aisles.
Syracuse was the second-to-last show of an eight-date northeast run with Anastasio, the Phish frontman who arguably became the de facto leader of the jam scene since the 1995 death of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia.
“I’ve looked up to [Trey] for a long time, as a musician, music creator, band leader, and role model,” Mitarotonda says. “And the fact that he wanted to do this [tour with us], I feel immense gratitude.”
