In addition to a rich library of original material, the Goonies have covered songs by artists like: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Ike and Tina, Etta James, Joni Mitchell, etc. The Gooneybirds started back in 1987 when they played their first gig at Fernando's on East Lake St. They played the 400 Bar & then moved to their home at The Cabooze Bar on the West Bank in Minneapolis, appearing there many times including their residency Sunday nights (1989 to 1992)....

They've shared stages with Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, The Jayhawks and Soul Asylum to name a few. In recent years, the Goonies play out a few times a year.
