Warren Haynes with Gov't Mule |
Saturday at the 2013 Hangout Festival was full of classic
rock and roll on the main Hangout Stage.
On this beautiful afternoon on the beach, Gov’t Mule’s hard guitar licks
took over from 3:30-4:45. The southern
rock band is led by possibly one of the hardest working men in show business,
Warren Haynes on lead guitar and vocals.
He is also known for his time playing with The Allman Brothers and The
Dead. Gov’t Mule also features Matt Abts
on drums, Danny Louis on keys and rhythm guitar, and Jorgen Carlsson on
bass. This Hangout performance really
showcased Haynes’ daunting guitar skill with his consistent wailing guitar
solos and effects. These veterans play
so well together as a band that it makes any rock and roll lover an instant
fan. One highlight of the show was the
song “Soulshine,” originally done by Larry McCray.
