Warren Haynes & Gov't Mule — A Legacy of Southern Rock

Warren Haynes is one of rock’s most respected guitarists and vocalists, with a career spanning four decades across multiple legendary acts. Before Gov't Mule, Haynes joined the Allman Brothers Band during their late-1980s reunion and remained a core member through the band’s final shows in 2014. He’s also collaborated extensively with the Grateful Dead family, playing with Phil Lesh & Friends and The Dead. In 2024, Haynes released his fourth solo album, Million Voices Whisper, through Fantasy Records — his first solo record in nearly a decade — featuring collaborations with his longtime Allman Brothers bandmate Derek Trucks. A companion album, The Whisper Sessions, followed in September 2025. Haynes also partnered with Gibson for his first signature guitar, the Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard, now available worldwide. Learn more at warrenhaynes.net.

Gov't Mule’s discography includes acclaimed albums like the self-titled debut (1995), Dose (1998), Life Before Insanity (2000), The Deep End tribute albums (2001–2002), High & Mighty (2006), Shout! (2013), the Grammy-nominated Heavy Load Blues (2021), and their latest, Peace…Like A River (2023). The 2023 album, released via Fantasy Records, features guest appearances from Billy F Gibbons (ZZ Top), Billy Bob Thornton, Ivan Neville, Ruthie Foster, and Celisse. Haynes called it “song for song maybe my favorite one.” Stream Gov't Mule on Spotify.

What to Expect at a Gov't Mule Concert

A Gov't Mule show is a masterclass in improvisational rock. Unlike most rock bands, Mule never plays the same setlist twice. Drawing from a catalog spanning 30 years, plus deep-cut covers from the Allman Brothers, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and dozens of other influences, each performance is a unique musical journey. Songs regularly stretch into 10-, 15-, or 20-minute jam explorations, with Haynes, Abts, Louis, and Scott locking into grooves that shift from blues to psychedelia to hard rock and back. The band’s annual New Year’s Eve shows at the Beacon Theatre in New York City have become legendary — 2025 marked their 20th NYE celebration at the venue, honoring the music of 1971. For the spring 2026 dates, fans can expect a mix of Peace…Like A River material, career staples, and spontaneous covers — no two nights are ever alike.

About the Joe Bonamassa Co-Headline Run

The summer 2026 amphitheater tour marks the first time Gov't Mule and Joe Bonamassa have officially toured together, despite decades of friendship and numerous one-off collaborations. Bonamassa, a blues-rock guitar virtuoso in his own right with over 30 albums to his name, shares Haynes’ reverence for the classic blues and rock traditions. The 8-date co-headline format means fans get full-length sets from both acts — a rare opportunity to see two of modern blues-rock’s greatest guitarists on the same bill. Venues like Wolf Trap, Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, and Treasure Island Amphitheater offer outdoor summer concert settings ideal for the extended jamming both artists are known for.

What Is a Ticket Resale Marketplace?

A ticket resale marketplace is an online platform where fans buy and sell tickets to concerts, sports, and live events from verified third-party sellers.
