In 2024, Gov’t Mule will be celebrating a major milestone as the  GRAMMY-nominated band, led by guitar legend, vocalist, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes, marks 30 years since its formation. To kick off the celebrations, the renowned quartet has announced the 30 Years Strong Tour for February.

There’s no time to rest for Gov’t Mule this year. The GRAMMY-nominated band, led by guitar legend, vocalist, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes, recently wrapped their massively successful Dark Side of the Mule Summer Tour and is now launching their next headlining outing, the Peace…Like A River World Tour in support of their latest critically acclaimed studio album, Peace…Like A River.

Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival rolled through Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, last weekend on August 13. An array of country and classic rock legends handpicked to join Willie on this stretch of the tour delivered an incredible show that took the audience on a journey through decades of music.

In March, fans got the exciting news that Gov’t Mule would be hitting the road in July to perform a run of thirteen shows that would incorporate some of the most iconic music in pop culture. Born from an incredibly special Halloween show in 2008 and only performed a select number of times since Warren Haynes and his fearsome foursome would once again give their constituents a satisfying ride on The Mule before presenting their reinterpretation of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

The 2023 Outlaw Music Festival, headlined by the legendary Willie Nelson & Family, marked a momentous occasion in Bethel, NY. Graced with picturesque late July weather, it was an experience to be etched in the memories of music enthusiasts.

The Line-up

On July 26, at the popular all-seasons concert venue KEMBA Live!, in Columbus, Ohio, waves parted, and classic guitars and keyboards came out to play in the hands of Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule.

With so many high-profile tours and new releases competing for our attention in the early half of Summer 2023, it’s more than forgivable if you’ve let a few of them get by you. (We here at Grateful Web certainly feel the ‘crush of the new’, and we sense all too well the summer shooting by, bullet-wise. Y’know, sometimes, we just have to shoot backward to catch up!) However, one rock album that you shouldn’t let slip off your personal radar – especially if your head and heart favor a well-percolated mixture of Classic and progressive rock, blues, jazz and folk – is Peace.
