Gov't Mule Reveals Additional Dates For Upcoming U.S. Summer Tour

Renowned quartet Gov't Mule - led by GRAMMY® Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, and producer Warren Haynes - has revealed additional dates for their upcoming U.S. summer tour supporting their critically acclaimed, chart-topping blues album, Heavy Load Blues.

Commencing June 3rd in Haynes' hometown of Asheville, NC, the cross-country outing will incorporate a mix of headlining shows and festival appearances along with select multi-band/support dates alongside the likes of ZZ Top, Turnpike Troubadours, Grace Potter, and Willie Nelson on his Outlaw Music Festival Tour.

The band will also be heading overseas for a European tour throughout July and recently announced the rescheduled dates for their Philadelphia and New York City shows, which will now take place December 29-31.

Pre-sale tickets for the newly announced shows in Ojai, Tempe, Tucson and Indianapolis will be available Wednesday, April 27th with the general on sale beginning Friday, April 29th at 10am local time. Tickets for all other shows are on sale now. See below for full list of upcoming Gov't Mule tour dates. Please visit www.mule.net for ticketing details.

"I can't overstate how happy and excited we are to finally get back on the road and be together with our amazing fans this summer," shares Haynes. "It's been far too long, but I'm getting better every day and appreciate the well wishes and your patience. We're really looking forward to performing all these new songs for you. We're also going to dig deep into our catalog and include many songs we haven't played in a while. As always, every show will be a different experience. See you all very soon!"

Though technically considered a studio album, Heavy Load Blues was recorded live in the studio at The Power Station New England on analog tape, utilizing vintage guitars, amps and other equipment to capture an authentic sound. Worldwide, the album has received critical praise and support from the likes of Consequence, Guitar World, BrooklynVegan, No Depression, Ultimate Classic Rock, PopMatters, Downbeat, Classic Rock, Relix, Guitar Magazine, Paste and many more.

Gov't Mule - Haynes, Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Jorgen Carlsson [bass] - has been releasing live performance videos of featured tracks off Heavy Load Blues exclusively on their YouTube channel for their weekly "Session Sunday" video series, which just wrapped yesterday (Sunday, April 24).
