Gov’t Mule is an American Southern Rock jam band that has been bringing their sensational sound to the public since 1994. Now, they deliver their Back in the Saddle Tour to The Big E Arena, sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, in West Springfield, Mass., on Friday, September 12, at 7:30pm. Tickets and VIP packages are on sale this Friday, June 20, at 10am ET on TheBigE.com. Concert tickets include admission to the Fair when purchased in advance of the show date.

For three decades, Gov’t Mule has galvanized a global fan base with their honest, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world, whose spot amongst Rock titans remains unshakable.

Led by visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist, guitar legend, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes—a cornerstone of the American music landscape—the enduring, globally revered Grammy-nominated group has showcased its intelligence and breadth over the course of 20+ studio and live albums, thousands of memorable performances and millions of album and track sales.

Gov’t Mule’s most recent studio album, Peace… Like a River (2023)—hailed as “perfection,” “captivating,” “riveting” and among the band’s best—marked the follow-up to Mule’s Grammy-nominated Blues album, Heavy Load Blues (2021), with both albums recorded at The Power Station New England during the same sessions but created in different rooms with no shared gear or instruments. Gov’t Mule features Haynes on guitar and vocals, Matt Abts on drums, bassist Kevin Scott and Danny Louis on keyboards, guitar and backing vocals. The band has become a human encyclopedia of great American music while adding to that canon with their signature sound.

As they continue to celebrate the 30th anniversary since the release of their debut album, acclaimed Grammy-nominated band Gov’t Mule has announced the Back in the Saddle Tour.
