Cotter Ellis

This March, Cotter and Friends (ft. Cotter Ellis of Goose) will bring their high-energy and dynamic performances to Colorado for a two-night run of unforgettable collaboration. More than just a side project, Cotter and Friends is a musical reunion of familiar faces featuring the talents of members of Goose, Swimmer, Magic Beans, and the Kitchen Dwellers.

Cotter Ellis, drummer for Goose, has announced two shows with his Led Zeppelin tribute act, Nico Suave & The Mothership.

Goose returned to the Moody Center on December 31, 2024, to close out the year with a bang at a show billed as a formal event. The band donned button-up shirts, ties, slacks, capes, and masquerade masks reminiscent of The Phantom of the Opera. These masks, along with roses, were handed out to the crowd as they entered the venue.

After taking a year off from performing on New Year’s, Goose returned to Austin, Texas, for the third time in their career and for their sixth New Year’s run, which included a performance on December 31. They chose the 15,000-seat Moody Center ATX—located in the heart of the University of Texas and home to the Texas Longhorns basketball teams—to host the event.

Goose returned for the second night of Goosemas XI at the North Charleston Coliseum and delivered even more twists and turns. They kept fans on their toes with an unpredictable set, despite revisiting a theme they had executed multiple times before.

The end of the year, along with Goosemas, is upon us once again. It’s hard to believe how fast 2024 flew—and flew it did. Goose delivered the first night of the bingo-themed Goosemas XI without a hitch at the North Charleston Coliseum on Friday, December 13th, much to the delight of the fans. The show included the mystery of the bingo balls, which featured a couple of first-time-played covers.

Night two in St. Augustine with Goose felt like a dream, as the band continued to play out of their minds in a mild tropical paradise. Most folks spent their day on the beach, by the pool, or enjoying the incredibly fresh seafood before lazily making the mile-or-two migration to the venue, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.

As their Florida run continued, Goose headed to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, ranked the second-best amphitheater in the USA by Pollstar Magazine in 2019. This 5,000-capacity venue boasted impeccable sound and not a single bad seat in the house. The band, still on fire from the previous night, delighted the crowd with several notable covers.

Goose celebrated their first Halloween in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 31, 2024, with a crowd of around five thousand fans and a chilling Stranger Things theme. This all took place adjacent to the St. Pete Pier, nestled within Tampa Bay. The band was as thrilled to be in Florida as the fans were to see them on their home turf. They unveiled a number of new, first-time-played tunes intermixed with their signature indie groove originals.

Goose descended on Saratoga Springs, NY, for a two-night stand at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, which is surrounded by lush greenery and a sprawling state park that includes hot springs. The band was sufficiently warmed up after playing in Holmdel, NJ, and Boston, MA, earlier in the week. The Connecticut-based indie groove quintet certainly crushed night one with several rarely played covers and an original, all within their home stomping grounds.
