Gov’t Mule is bringing A Southern State of Mind to Boston to headline MGM Music Hall at Fenway for a special “Gov’t Mule & Friends” show on December 31, 2026. Among the special guests and friends set to join are Haynes’s former Allman Brothers Band bandmates Jaimoe and Marc Quiñones, ABB alum Chuck Leavell, former members of The Black Crowes Steve Gorman and Audley Freed, Reese Wynans, and Kevn Kinney. Gov’t Mule has been bringing their fan community together to ring in the new year with their special themed shows since 2002. After two decades celebrating at NYC’s Beacon Theatre, the party moves to Boston for the first time ever!
