Breaking news: Cameron Winter spotted wearing Groucho Marx glasses behind the piano.
Cameron Winter of the ascendant rock band Geese traded his name for an alias.
Headlining a charity show for the Olive Grove Initiative, a mutual aid group supporting Gazan families, the frontman performed incognito as “Chet Chomsky,” a tongue-in-cheek “newly discovered southwestern master of song.”

The reveal capped an intimate night that opened with a set from his Geese bandmate, guitarist Emily Green.
Winter’s hushed solo performance, a stark contrast to his band’s explosive art-rock, offered a rare glimpse of the artist stripped back.

The show arrived at a soaring peak for Geese, who are set for their Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, riding a wave of critical acclaim for their album Getting Killed.
In this secret set, however, the spotlight was softer, the cause was urgent, and the alias was a humble cloak for a musician proving his depth extends far beyond the roar of a band.
