Last month at Luna Luna in Manhattan, jam band Goose marked the announcement of their latest album, Everything Must Go, with a whimsical performance featuring various characters. The band, consisting of four members and a guest saxophonist, captivated the crowd with an hourlong jam. Their lively interaction reflects their desire to connect with fans, as expressed by drummer Cotter Ellis. The new album includes a mix of uplifting and playful tunes, further establishing Goose's reputation as a leading name in the contemporary jam band genre. Upcoming performances include festivals and a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden.
A jam band is like a sitcom, said Cotter Ellis, Goose's drummer. When you watch a show like The Office, after a while you feel like you know the characters.
I like that. I don't want to be seen as better than the crowd. I want it to be seen as, We're all in this together.'
Everything Must Go, a 14-song set that features major-key tunes with lyrics alternately goofy and uplifting, comes as the group solidifies its status as rock's biggest new jam band.
Within the community, there's all this talk of, Who's coming next?' You see the lineage of the Grateful Dead, Phish.
