Gov’t Mule’s Island Exodus destination event continued at Jewel Paradise Cove in Runaway Bay, Jamaica on Monday. Last night frontman Warren Haynes presented his annual solo set at the event and welcomed a handful of guests.

Haynes presented a mix of career-spanning originals and intriguing covers. Warren started the set by himself for a series of songs that included the debut of a tune titled “Shadow Of A Ghost” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Masters Of War.” Saxophonist Ron Holloway was the first guest of the set as he added to “A Friend To You” off Warren’s Man In Motion LP. Vocalist Nicki Bluhm then emerged for a duet on Don Henley and Stevie Nicks’ “Leather & Lace.” Nicki also sang “Desperado” and “Jetplane” backed by Haynes and Gov’t Mule keyboardist Danny Louis.

Towards the end of the set Warren sang “King’s Highway” with backing by Danny Louis. The main set then came to a close with a rendition of blues standard “Key To The Highway” featuring Louis and Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno. For the encore, Warren brought out Holloway, Bluhm, Louis and Krasno to back him on his signature song, “Soulshine.”
