Goose Celebrate Goosemas with Special Guests and Carnival Vibes in Providence

Goose brought their signature event, their 12th annual Goosemas, to a close at Providence, RI’s Amica Mutual Pavilion last night. The theatrical presentation continued the story of Barnaby Glimpse’s Show Upon Time, an original conceptual piece which the band has described as “a surreal, dark carnival narrative set in Lovering’s Hollow in 1734.” The four-person Connecticut outfit used the occasion to both debut a handful of new covers as well as weave a mix of originals into the story-cycle offering, which was brought to life through vivid costumes, puppetry and theatrical production.
