With a lineup of artists and activists who speak truth, spark joy, and stir hearts, this year’s Goose promises a soulful celebration of justice, creativity, and connection. Here are just a few of the voices helping to weave this year’s wild and wondrous tapestry:

Crys Matthews
Equal parts songwriter, storyteller, and social justice troubadour, Crys Matthews delivers music with a mission. Her blend of folk, gospel, and blues fuels the movement and feeds the soul—think Joan Baez meets Tracy Chapman at a protest rally. MORE

Bec Cranford
Chaplain, activist, and all-around holy mischief-maker, Bec Cranford shows up with fierce compassion and zero tolerance for injustice. Whether she’s preaching, organizing, or making you laugh-cry with a story, she keeps it real—and deeply human. MORE

Doug Pagitt
Pastor, author, and merry theological disruptor, Doug Pagitt brings bold ideas wrapped in bigger questions. As founder of Vote Common Good, he helps faith communities reimagine public life with hope, humor, and just the right amount of holy trouble.  MORE

Ken Medema
Blind since birth, but able to see straight into your soul, Ken Medema has been improvising music and moments for decades. With piano keys and prophetic insight, he turns what’s happening in the room into songs that leave you changed. MORE
