For the first time, Goose expanded the charitable wing of their organization and hosted a can drive for Norwalk-based Open Doors, a homeless shelter and food pantry that has supported local families since 1983. Fans who donated non-perishable food items were entered into a raffle for prizes including limited-edition merchandise and tickets to upcoming shows. The band successfully collected over 300 pounds of food for Open Doors.The sixth annual Goosemas show was Goose’s biggest headlining show to date, as over 1,100 concertgoers packed the band’s hometown theatre to see two sets called “The Ghost of Goosemas Past” and “The Ghost of Goosemas Future.” Both sets incorporated fan-favorite originals, including “Yeti,” “Tumble,” and “Wysteria Lane,” and Christmas classics like Vince Guaraldi’s “Linus and Lucy” and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Carol of the Bells.”
Perhaps most exciting for Goose fans was the long-awaited debut of three new original songs, entitled “Arrow,” “Honeybee” and “Your Ocean.”
