Goose Share New Single “Royal”

2025 is Goose’s year. In the last eight months, the quartet has cemented itself as not only a fixture in jam, but also as crossover stars in the broader alt-rock world with the release of their triumphant fourth studio album, Everything Must Go, and high-profile bookings like New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Newport Folk Festival and New York’s hallowed Madison Square Garden. Along the way, they’ve also weathered a lineup change, debuted their Viva El Gonzo destination festival and announced its 2026 follow-up, reached new heights of instrumental prowess on a titanic tour and made their first TV appearance on CBS Saturdays. Somehow, it seems they’ve also found time to record, as evinced by today’s fresh single, “Royal.”
