As in years past, Gov’t Mule will serve as the ultimate hosts, performing three 2-set shows, with GRAMMY-winning frontman, guitar legend, and producer Warren Haynes performing a special afternoon solo set. Special guest John Scofield, will be sitting in with Mule throughout the event. Also joining the party this year are moe. and Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, each doing two shows throughout the event.

Jamaica is our chosen home for many reasons; the waves as they hit the beach are the backdrop of the ever-present one-drop reggae beat that is the heartbeat of the island. When we arrive, the music of Gov’t Mule, John Scofield, moe., Daniel Donato, and Cosmic Country adds to the island’s heartbeat, and we become one! Our new resort amplifies what makes Jamaica special: a gorgeous beach with expansive ocean vistas, Jamaican hospitality, and luxurious accommodations. Whether this is your first time at Island Exodus or your 16th, you will be sure to discover something new and unique to celebrate!
