Goose is a Funk-Folk band based out of Norwalk, Connecticut. Rick Mitarotonda is the guitarist-singer-songwriter whose folky, hummable melodies are supported by keyboardist Kristopher Yunker, and a deep-pocket rhythm section of Trevor Weekz on Bass, Ben Atkind on drums, and Aaron Hagele on percussion. The bands music is both memorable and danceable; an organic and easy-to-love mix of funk and contemporary folk, with touches of reggae, jazz, blues, and rock.
Tracked in a snowbound lakeside New Hampshire cabin, with mixing and mastering at the Factory Underground in Norwalk, CT, Gooses debut album Moon Cabin was released in early 2016. Moon Cabin traverses diverse musical terrain with 3 part harmony vocals and hooks so big you can hang your hat on them; funky improvised solos and adventurous musical interludes. A performance at The Capitol Theatre in October 2016 saw the addition of Gooses most recent members, Kristopher Yunker (Alan Evans Playonbrother, On The Spot Trio, Wubakia, and Jen Durkin and The Business), and Aaron Hagele, who has shared the stage with such acts as Particle, George Porter Jr, The Werks, and many more. With a second album on the way and tour dates continuing to ramp up, the Goose is getting loose.
Nardy Boy is one crazy-ass mash up of funk, 2nd line, blues and jazz motifs and deeply soulful singing. Led by New Orleans own Renard Boissiere, the band swings to a variety of grooves planned and impromptu, and his vocals are often punctuated by an eclectic set of scat and vocal efx.
Nardy Boy shows often feature guest musicians who stop by and sit in as the band drops the cool vibe, flowing from old-time tunes in a hip-hop style and elevating 2nd line struts from the streets of Treme, all setting the stage for highly danceable, extended jams.
Renard, the bands guitarist, lead vocalist and primary composer, is joined by regular band members Steve DeTroy on keys, Mike Tepper on bass, Mike Paolucci on drums, and Dave Porter on guitar.
