GOV’T MULE WELCOMES NEW BASS PLAYER
New Bassist Jorgen Carlsson To Debut on Fall Tour
Balancing evocative songs and expressive improvisation, Gov’t Mule is a band rooted in both the personal and musical chemistry between its members. “It’s not one of those groups that can make a change overnight,” explains founding guitarist/vocalist Warren Haynes. It is only after six months of rehearsing, jamming, and hanging out with bassist Jorgen Carlsson that he has been added to the band as their new permanent bass player, replacing Andy Hess, who joined in 2003.
I personally will miss Andy. I absolutely loved his sound and style.
See you in San Fran, Jorgen!

Does anyone know why Andy left? Was it on good terms?

No, but I’d be willing to bet a fair bit of $ that it was on perfectly good terms. They’ve been rehearsing w/ the new fellow for “months”, and Andy continued to play with them during that time. You’d have to imagine if it was bad terms, he would have just outright quit.
And they (the entire band) have been seen laughing and joking after shows together a bunch of times recently.
