Labor Day means we’re unofficially in the final days of summer and in the homestretch of the Red Butte summer concert series, but the season is finishing with a flurry, with seven concerts in the next three weeks.
First up is something of a throwback, with Gov’t Mule returning Wednesday night to the amphitheater they last visited in 2017.
Mule is a band that has exhibited surprising staying power, with more than 25 years in the business, springing up in the early days of the ‘90s jam-band craze.
Don’t be confused, we’re not talking psychedelic jam-bands like Grateful Dead or Phish, or even the radio-friendly iterations like Dave Matthews — although there is a fair amount of that.
