Goose quickly outgrew the smaller pond that was home to my first show two years ago, a Halloween celebration at New York City’s 250-capacity Mercury Lounge, growing more than tenfold to the 2,600-capacity Palladium in Worcester, MA. A journey of deeply significant growth during that time that even saw the addition of a new band member, Goose was primed to play the show of their lives up against the pressure of rising expectations in front of an ever-expanding gaggle of devoted fans.
