Last Friday night Gov’t Mule continued a long tradition of guest-filled shows in New Orleans by welcoming over 30 other musicians to the stage during a marathon performance at the Saenger Theatre. The guests ranged from New Orleans natives like George Porter Jr. and Trombone Shorty to rock legends Bill Kreutzmann, Chuck Leavell, Fred Tackett and Paul Barrere to blues men Johnny Winter and Sonny Landreth to young upstarts like Alecia Chakour and The Shady Horns.
