On Wednesday me and the teen kiddos and one of their friends headed down to Boston, MA to see what I can safely say is now my favorite band of the 21st century, Geese. I think they’re up there for Aero as well, and today I heard Finn (who usually listens to musicals and video game soundtracks) say that they were the band of his generation and that he’d see them every time they come around.
This is my third time seeing them and Aero and Finn’s second. The show this past Wednesday was easily one of the best performed and most energetic concerts I’ve ever been to. The band sounded amazing back when we saw them in October 2025. This past Wednesday they sounded like one of the best live acts that I’ve ever heard. The power with which they approached every song stunned me. The end of HUSBANDS hit so hard and I could hear and see my teen kiddos singing along. HALF REAL was the most beautiful of the night. The more the band plays this song, the lower the BPM gets, I SWEAR! AND I LOVE IT. This song really works when it is so so so very slow and the band did not dissapoint at this show. But hearing KILLING MY BORROWED TIME live was a highlight. This was the holy grail for our family. We got it. WOW!
We started the day by getting down to the venue early. I wanted to explore the area but I also like to let the universe decide who we run into that day. At Aero’s first Geese show last year they got to meet their favorite guitarist of all time, Emily Green, and also Geese’s bassist Dom DiGesu. So we thought “hey maybe the universe will do something else again,” and it sure did. We were there no more than 30 minutes when we began walking down N. Beacon Street when we ran into Geese’s lead singer Cameron Winter. Wow! He was very kind and we all shook hands, thanked him for the music, and we went our ways. I didn’t want to bother him with a photo. He was very kind to us. It was the ideal way to meet him.
Even cooler was later on when Aero ran into bassist Dom once again, and Dom remembered Aero from last year’s show! “Hey, you’re the person who had their guitar signed for Emily at the show last year, right?”

I have to admit that was the best part of the day for me. The music was so amazing, but it was so cool to have someone who means so much to my kids take the time out of their day to talk to them but also to remember them and the brief interaction they had over a year ago. Geese, for me, is not only the best band of this generation, but they’re also just really nice people. And hey, that’s what we need most in the world these days.
