Goose has gained popularity since early 2020, in large part due to live performances with larger acts like Dead & Company, Trey Anastasio, and Bob Weir.
The band garnered praise for their performance at the 2019 edition of The Peach Music Festival, which gained them popularity in the jam band scene and has been viewed over 420,000 times on YouTube/Facebook as of March 2023. In January 2020 the band played two well received late night performances at Dead & Company's Playing in the Sand event in Mexico.
The band's rise in popularity resulted in booking larger venues for their 2020 tour, such as the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, but they canceled the tour after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down live music performances worldwide. Instead, the band livestreamed eight concerts without an audience from a barn in Connecticut in June 2020, called the Bingo Tour. The Bingo Tour grossed more than $100,000 for the band.
On December 22, 2023, the band released a statement that founding member and original drummer Ben Atkind would be departing the band. On February 5, 2024, the band announced that Cotter Ellis would be joining the band as the new drummer.
On November 24, 2024, Goose played at Madison Square Garden as part of the Soulshine relief concert, for major hurricanes Helene and Milton. They played with
Dave Matthews, performing the Bruce Hornsby song "The Way It Is".
On January 27, 2025, the band announced their upcoming fourth studio album, Everything Must Go, and released its debut single, "Give It Time".
