New Year’s Eve celebrations usually give way to once in a lifetime excursions in January. Unfortunately, we only have archival footage to keep us this warm this year. Although Dr. Fauci shared some very encouraging news for live music fans today—”If everything goes right, [concerts] is will [return] some time in the fall of 2021. So that by the time we get to the early to mid-fall, you can have people feeling safe performing onstage as well as people in the audience … I think you can then start getting back to almost full capacity of seating. We’ll be back in the theaters — performers will be performing, audiences will be enjoying it. It will happen.”

One of the January jam getaways that happens annually is Gov’t Mule’s Island Exodus in Jamaica. Last year, the Mule invited My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel to cover Radiohead’s classic tune “Lucky.”

If things go accordingly to plan, we could see an Island Exodus 12 in 2022. Thanks to TonyFranciosi for the footage of Island Exodus 11 to hold us over until next year.
