Gov’t Mule have shared they will join ZZ Top as special guests at Pinewood Bowl Theatre in Lincoln, Neb. The gig is scheduled for Aug. 21 and will showcase the melding of two seminal musical entities.
The upcoming concert is a part of ZZ Top’s Raw Whisky Tour, which celebrates the release of the Southern rockers’ 16th studio album, Raw, due out on July 22 via Shelter Records/BMG. The new 11-track LP was recorded in connection with the band’s critically acclaimed Netflix documentary, That Little Ol’ Band From Texas.
The upcoming collaboration isn't the first time ZZ Top and Gov’t Mule have mingled musically. Gov’t Mule has been no stranger to covering ZZ Top: The Warren Haynes-led troops have frequently performed their hits, breathing life into timeless favorites including “Just Got Paid,” “I’m Bad I’m Nationwide,” and “Blue Jean Blues.”
Additionally, the two bands have a history of sharing the stage and throwing down tunes as a collective unit, a practice that will continue this summer when Gov't Mule joins ZZ Top on tour. The first show is slated for July 29 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
The collaboration will continue the following night when they play together at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati. Then, on July 31, they’ll pop up at Pittsburgh’s The Pavilion at Star Lake. For more information and to learn more, visit zztop.com.
