Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Deep End project started when Warren Haynes and Matt Abts refused to replace Allen Woody, instead inviting dozens of guest bassists to honor him.
This 2003 show captured Gov't Mule at their most ambitious, bridging jam-band culture with New Orleans second-line traditions just months before Hurricane Katrina reshaped the city's music scene.
