GOV'T MULE HOSTS ROCKIN' THE BURRO IN BROOKLYN WITH SPECIAL GUEST WOLFMOTHER

(New York, NY) -- Gov't Mule will host Rockin' The Burro -- simply the best rock show hitting New York City this summer. Gov't Mule welcomes special guest Wolfmother. Also appearing will be Two Gallants. The
concert will take place, Saturday, September 9th, at McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, NY. Doors are at 4PM. Tickets are onsale now through Ticketmaster.

"We've been interested in playing an outdoor show in NY and we've been looking for the right venue and it seems we've found it," says Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes. "With this line-up it's very much a rock 'n roll show."

McCarren Pool was the eighth of eleven giant pools opened by the Works Progress Administration in 1936 and could once hold 6,800 swimmers. The Pool, located at the northern end of McCarren Park in Greenpoint,
Brooklyn, was closed to the public in 1984.  In July of 2005, construction began to convert McCarren Pool into a public events venue.  Live Nation and Noemie LaFrance's neighborhood-based Sens Productions both stepped up to make the site safe for public access, with the support of City Parks Foundation. It has the perfect vibe for a rock concert such as this.

At Rockin' the Burro, Gov't Mule will perform songs from the band's highly anticipated new recording HIGH & MIGHTY. Street date is August 22. Fans will be treated to several songs during the rest of the dates on the Take it Higher Tour and Mule's European dates. See tour dates below.
