Watch Gov’t Mule Tease New Concert Film, Album ‘Bring On the Music’

Gov’t Mule will release a new live album and concert film, Bring On the Music – Live at the Capitol Theatre June 28th via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. The project comprises songs from two shows Gov’t Mule performed at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York April 27th and 28th, 2018.

Veteran music filmmaker and photographer Danny Clinch directed the concert film, notably capturing Gov’t Mule’s updated stage set and production on film for the first time. The live performances will also be mixed with interviews with the band members and behind-the-scenes footage. A trailer for Bring On the Music teases the band’s rendition of the title track and features a snippet of an interview with frontman Warren Haynes, who says, “When you sign on to be a musician, you sign on for life.”

“The song ‘Bring On The Music’ talks about loss and the passing of time as well as the relationship between the band and our audience,” Haynes tells Rolling Stone.

“We’re coming up on our 25^th year as a band, which is something we never could have predicted,” he adds. “Gov’t Mule is in a really good place right now and I feel it was important to document that. The Capitol was a legendary theater before it closed. Since it reopened, I’ve played there a lot and the shows are always fun. It has a really great vibe and history and it sounds really good as well.”

Bring On the Music is available to pre-order and will be released digitally, on CD, Blu-Ray and two separate double-vinyl packages. There will also be a two-CD, two-DVD deluxe package, with the CD and DVD featuring entirely different track lists, as well as bonus videos of “Soulshine” and “Traveling Tune,” plus rare photographs shot by Clinch throughout Gov’t Mule’s career.

Gov’t Mule have also extended their summer tour itinerary with a new North American leg that kicks off June 21st at the PNC Pavillion at Riverbed in Cincinnati, Ohio and wraps July 18th at Crossroads in Kansas City, Missouri. The new dates will be squeezed between previously announced runs in May, June, late July and August. Tickets for the new shows go on sale May 10th, while pre-sale tickets will be available May 8th. Complete information is available on the band’s website.
