SCOPE Productions has the pleasure of announcing that Gov’t Mule and Yonder Mountain String Band will be performing as a part of the Homecoming concert on October 1st on the Pentacrest lawn. The show will begin immediately following the Homecoming parade. 

Since their inception in 1994, Gov’t Mule have been synonymous with the term jam band.  The band is a spinoff of the legendary Southern rock band The Allman Brothers, and has included members from The Allman Brothers lineup including, Warren Haynes and Allen Woody.  Gov’t Mule has garnered a large, dedicated fan base thanks to their unrelenting tour schedule and highly energized performances.

With deep cuts from their previous records like “Soulshine,” “Beautifully Broken,” and “Broke Down On The Brazos,” fans are sure to hear the band’s classic hits. Front-man Warren Haynes was ranked as Rolling Stone Magazines 23rd best guitarist of all time and creates a rocking and captivating performance.

 

Performing alongside Gov’t Mule, The Yonder Mountain String Band, will be starting the festivities of homecoming off. The Yonder Mountain String Band take all the best parts and country and bluegrass music and meld them together to create music that is not only energizing, but downright fun and engaging for anyone who cares to listen.

This is a free show open to the general public.
