“Warren Haynes' veteran crew bring funk, political skepticism to soaring jams...” - Rolling Stone
“[‘Dreams & Songs’ is] aching, soulful…” – Billboard
“Gov’t Mule is an essential, iconic American band…[Revolution Come… Revolution Go] is as diverse and wide-ranging as anything Warren Haynes has recorded in his prolific career, making a strong statement that he is one of his generation’s best and most important guitarists.” – Guitar World
"[Gov't Mule's] songs stomp and wail with unmistakable energy and heft." – NPR
"...the new record effortlessly shifts from Black Sabbath style riffs to Al Green inspired soul, before finding its way into the backwoods of Southern rock and country. The ultimate dream is to achieve the fluidity Haynes finds between musical methods in the bloody battlefield of politics.” – Salon

Gov’t Mule just closed out their Spring Tour with a bang at their always-acclaimed show during Jazz Fest at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. The rock titans will once again hit the road beginning June 2nd when they headline Candler Park Music & Food Festival in Atlanta, GA before heading overseas for select European shows in Germany, Netherlands and the UK. Beginning July 12th, Gov’t Mule’s DARK SIDE OF THE MULE & The Avett Brothers will be joining forces for a run of six summer co-headlining amphitheater shows with special guest The Magpie Salute. This rare and thrilling evening of music produced by Live Nation promises to be a mind-blowing night that will bring a full set from The Avett Brothers followed by Gov’t Mule which will morph into DARK SIDE OF THE MULE, an audio and visual spectacular which will see Gov’t Mule performing some of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and beloved songs. For these shows, Gov’t Mule, along with several special guest musicians, will present their most ambitious and advanced live production and light show yet, befitting the incredible music of Pink Floyd. Out of the more than 2,000 shows Gov’t Mule has played throughout their celebrated career, there have only been two previous DARK SIDE OF THE MULE performances - Halloween 2008 at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, MA (where the band’s 2014 Dark Side of the Mule live album was recorded) and Mountain Jam 2015. For those who can’t catch one of these newly announced summer dates, Gov’t Mule will be bringing their DARK SIDE OF THE MULE set to Peach Fest on July 21st.
Gov’t Mule’s acclaimed 10th studio album Revolution Come… Revolution Go [Fantasy Records] is out now. Click here to listen. Spanning rock, blues, soul, jazz and country, the album won over fans and critics alike and, upon its release, shot up the rock charts, racked up nearly 2 million streams, and nabbed the band their highest-selling debut week ever. Their most diverse offering to date, Revolution Come…Revolution Go showcases the band's evocative songwriting, incendiary playing, cleverly-crafted songs and timely lyrical commentary. While Gov't Mule's storytelling has always been inspired in part by American struggles and experiences, Revolution Come... Revolution Go finds the band's finger directly on the pulse of our very divided political climate, poignantly capturing the tension and emotions felt by Americans regardless of political affiliation with a resounding call for unity. The album also features introspective ruminations on life and love - Click here to watch the video for the gorgeous and moving tune “Dreams & Songs” which recently premiered via Relix.
