A Washington, D.C. native, Mya burst onto the scene in 1998 with her double-platinum, self-titled debut album, Mya, establishing herself as a defining voice in late-’90s and early-2000s R&B and pop. The album introduced major hits including “It’s All About Me,” “Movin’ On,” and “My First Night With You,” followed by continued success with her sophomore album, Fear of Flying, featuring the signature hit “Case of the Ex.” In 2001, Mya reached new heights as part of the all-star collaboration “Lady Marmalade,” which topped charts worldwide and earned a Grammy Award.
Mya continued to evolve artistically with her third album, Moodring, highlighted by singles such as “My Love Is Like… Wo” and “Fallen,” while expanding her presence in film and television with roles in Chicago, Shall We Dance, and an acclaimed run on Dancing with the Stars. As part of the ensemble cast of Chicago, Mya earned a Screen Actors Guild Award, further cementing her status as a versatile entertainer across music, film, television, and live performance.
In 2008, Mya launched her independent label, Planet 9, becoming a pioneer of artist independence as she wrote, produced, and released a steady stream of projects on her own terms. Her independent catalog includes K.I.S.S., Smoove Jones, T.K.O. (The Knock Out), and her latest studio album, RETROSPECT. Smoove Jones earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, underscoring her continued creative excellence beyond the major-label system.

Back-To-Back Shows at Mohegan Sun Arena November 13th & 14th
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 1, 2026) ––Goose has announced full details of their upcoming fall headline tour. Dates begin November 3rd at Kansas City, MO’s The Midland Theatre and continue through the entire month, stopping at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th. The shows will begin at 7:00pm.
Tickets to see the Wilton Connecticut based band at Mohegan Sun will go on sale Friday, June 5th, 2026, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, June 6th. $1 from every ticket sold on Goose’s 2026 Summer Tour will benefit Western Sun Foundation (WSF), a volunteer-run 501(c)3 supporting grassroots nonprofits in the cities the band visits. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.goosetheband.com/tour.
The new dates mark the impending arrival of their sixth studio album, BIG MODERN!, out June 12th on No Coincidence Records. A fully immersive world of sound that ingeniously captures what it feels like to move through today’s overstimulated, hyperconnected society, it includes such evocative new singles as “Torero” and the rapturous “Good2B,” both available everywhere now. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “groovy and discombobulated…a vintage Goose gem,” “Good2B” followed an array of cryptic teases from the band, including a hilarious video posted to social media starring Emmy Award-nominated actor Jake Lacy (The White Lotus, The Office, Girls), who then accompanied the band as they sat courtside at the New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls game at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. Lacy sat between the four members of Goose, each of whom wore bright yellow hoodies spelling out “FACE” – a key lyrical component of their fan favorite song, “Big Modern!” The teaser video and MSG appearance capped off two weeks of speculation inspired by guerrilla marketing in major US cities featuring the words “BIG MODERN!” along with a BIGMODERN.com website displaying Morse code for mysterious phrases and interactive messaging based on Goose fans’ thoughts across social media.
“As I see it, all these ideas we’ve been playing with are an absurdist reflection of the confusion of existing in today’s world,” Goose singer-guitarist Rick Mitarotonda told Rolling Stone. “Over-stated guerrilla marketing campaign with zero context or direct connection to anything, video of a five-minute rant from an unhinged executive, showing up at an NBA game in ridiculous sweatsuits…The album is a dispatch from interesting times, without judgment or superiority. We’re all in it the same – the exhilarating, disorienting experience of constantly being so ‘connected’. The overstimulating, high-resolution world of content streaming directly into your brain, in real time, all the time. Synthetic, prepackaged human emotion on demand for your entertainment. The nightly doomscroll bliss. The relentless worship of the projection of an image of self to the world. Identity as a brand. Your FACE… on your FACE. Somehow, more becomes less. Something is lost, but we’re not totally sure what it is. It’s awesome, and it’s terrifying.”
Goose will continue introducing the world of BIG MODERN! to fans around the globe on an epic 2026 tour schedule, as they continue on their Europe and United Kingdom tour this week. Highlights of the tour thus far included sold-out two-night stands at London’s Electric Brixton (May 22nd & 23rd) and Amsterdam, NL’s Melkweg (May 27th & 28th). Coming up next is a headline show at Paris, FR’s historic Élysée-Montmartre (June 1st), and a top-billed festival performance at Aarhus, DK’s NorthSide 2026 (June 5th).
From there, Goose return to North America for their annual summer headline tour, this year featuring some of the most ambitious routing of their career thus far, reinforcing the band’s steady ascent into premier venues across the continent. 2026 Summer Tour dates begin June 13 at Toronto, ON’s RBC Amphitheatre and then continue through late August. Highlights include a two-night return to New York City’s Madison Square Garden (June 19th & 20th), along with two-night stands at Virginia Beach, VA’s The Dome (June 15th & 16th), Charleston, SC’s Firefly Distillery (June 23rd & 24th), Raleigh, NC’s Red Hat Amphitheater (June 26th & 27th), Boston, MA’s sold-out Leader Bank Pavilion (June 30th & July 1st), Saratoga Springs, NY’s SPAC (July 3rd & 4th), Bend, OR’s Hayden Homes Amphitheater (August 21st & 22nd), and Morrison, CO’s sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre (August 27th & 28th), as well as one-night-only shows at such famed venues as Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion (June 28th) and Los Angeles, CA’s The Greek Theatre (August 14th). Select dates will see Goose joined by a diverse lineup of special guests, including Julian Lage (June 13th), The Disco Biscuits (July 3rd), moe. (July 4th), Greensky Bluegrass (August 19th-21st), Buffalo Traffic Jam (August 22nd), and Theoretical Blonde (August 29th).
In addition, the seemingly indefatigable Goose – who earlier this year visited San José del Cabo, Mexico for the second edition of their Viva El Gonzo destination festival experience – will head south of the border once again in early 2027 for two top-billed sets at Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: 10 Years on the Beach, set for January 20-23, 2027 at Riviera Maya, MX’s famed Moon Palace.
