Goose has followed Thursday’s surprise release of new single “Royal” with the news that the band will return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, August 13th.
This will mark the Connecticut-native jam quartet’s second time appearing on the Jimmy Fallon-hosted NBC late-night show following a performance of “Dripfield” back in December of 2022. A few months after the band’s Tonight Show debut, Fallon joined Goose onstage at Port Chester, NY’s The Capitol Theatre to sing lead on a cover of “Mustang Sally”.
The Tonight Show announcement follows the surprise release of new single “Royal” on Thursday via No Coincidence Records. The track plants its feet firmly from the first note, setting up a tight groove with its opening riff. Dirty guitar licks, accented by playful Wurlitzer hits, introduce the story of Royal, a transient musician whose burning ambition threatens to get the best of him.
