Gov't Mule & JJ Grey & Mofro Jam On Nice Evening At Artpark

8/6/2026 - Lewiston, New York - In a last minute decision, I decided to head to my favorite outdoor venue, Artpark, in lovely downtown Lewiston to see Warren Hayne's band Gov't Mule perform along with openers JJ Grey & Mofro. I picked up my General Admission ticket the day of the show and hopped in my car and headed West down Route 18 and South down the Niagara Scenic Parkway arriving to small crowds awaiting entry. It was an excellent day for a show rain free and hot. I entered as the doors opened and got my usual spot right behind the reserved seats, sitting next to some nice Canadian guests. The show started promptly at 6:30PM with JJ Grey & Mofro, from Florida, opening the show with a decent set of Southern Rock. After a short intermission, Gov't Mule hit the stage as part of their Kicking In Your Stall - 2026 Summer Tour and played a great set. They opened with with a jam filled Mule and played good versions of Captured and Sco-Mule. Warren Haynes was excellent on lead guitar and vocals and the band was pretty tight with Matt Abts on drums, Danny Louis on keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals and Kevin Scott anchoring on bass. Although not a sellout, the crowd filled in nicely for this good show on a lovely August evening. They invited JJ Grey and his band to join them for a nice cover of Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey. They closed the show with Mr. Man and Bring On The Music. A good show at one of my favorite venues which sadly will probably be the only show I see at Artpark this season. Slideshow
