Jeff Arevalo was a percussionist and multi-instrumentalist for the jam band Goose from 2020 to 2024. He contributed to drums, vocals, and guitar during his tenure with the group.
In February 2025, Arevalo announced he was stepping away from touring to focus on his mental health. However, in March 2025, Goose permanently parted ways with him due to “behavior in Jeff’s personal life that does not align with the band’s core values.”
Responding to his departure, Arevalo stated he felt “not rightly respected, valued, or properly utilized” during his time with Goose. He also mentioned forgoing severance because he refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, choosing instead to “retain my dignity and my truth.”
Arevalo’s departure marks a significant change for Goose, as he had been an integral part of their lineup for five years.
