GOAT WITH GUESTS GOLDEN FEATHER — LIVE AT BRIDGEWORKS!

TICKETS ON SALE THURSDAY FEBRUARY 12 @ 10AM ET

GOAT are a collective who hail from a small and very remote village in deepest darkest Sweden. Legend has it that for centuries, the inhabitants of the village were dedicated to the worship and practices of Voodoo. This strange and seemingly unlikely activity was apparently introduced into the area after a travelling witch doctor and a handful of her disciples were led to the village by following a cipher hidden within their most sacred of ancient scriptures. The reason it led them there is unknown, but their Voodoo influence quickly took hold over the whole village and so they made it their home. There, they were able to practice their craft unnoticed and unbothered for several centuries. This was until their non-Christian ways were discovered by the Church and they were burned out by the crusaders, the survivors cursing the village over their shoulders as they fled. To this day, the now picturesque village is still haunted by this Voodoo curse. The power of the curse can be felt throughout the grooves of the GOAT records.

Golden Feather is a project started by Steve Kiely and Brad Germain, inspired by their love of the Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, and other bands that like to jam and take the listeners on a musical journey. Close friends for years, Kiely and Germain had just finally gotten to writing music together in the early part of 2019. What started out as a weekly hang for the two in Brad’s basement recording demos, quickly turned into them having to find more like-minded musicians to help them bring their musical ideas to life. The group was set to play its first show in March 2020 when the global pandemic hit, suddenly ending all hopes of live performance. Brad and Steve, along with bassist Ronson and guitarist Chris Wheeler worked on the songs remotely and recorded their debut album entitled Light On Water . Not long after its November 2020 release, Gareth Inkster joined the group full-time on keys, with that lineup first showcased on 2023 live album Welcome\\Release . Wheeler departed the band as they began work on their ambitious debut studio album, the double album Golden Feather (released Sept 2024 via Sonic Unyon), with saxophonist Murray Heaton stepping in. Supporting that release, the band toured extensively across Ontario and beyond. Golden Feather arrives at Warehouse on the radiant ripples of that album's live follow-up, Cosmic Rays (released July 2025 via Sonic Unyon), which introduced new member Daniel Walton (Wooly Mantis, The Dreamland Band). Golden Feather's show — an evening of open-hearted, Dead-style jams — is full of dancing, singing along, and good vibes, with the main focus being the give-and-take relationship between band and crowd. That was captured faithfully in Welcome\\Release , the live album and concert film that marked Wheeler's final work with the band, and documented the arrival of saxophonist Heaton. "We believe that in a live setting, songs should have the ability to grow and change, just as a band does,” Kiely has said. “Music, art, and creation as a whole, should be given space to breathe and grow. Don’t put what you do in a box — let it turn into what it wants to turn into, and magic can happen.”
