CLEVELAND, Ohio - Warren Haynes ain’t wastin’ time no more. The singer-songwriter-guitarist, who spent a quarter century with the Allman Brothers Band , co-founded Gov’t Mule and has released three studio albums under his own name, has embarked on the “Now Is The Time Tour: The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience.” Fresh from a four-date stint with Slash’s S.
E.R.P.
E.N.T package tour, “Now Is The Time” is a career retrospective tour featuring the new version of the WHB, augmented with an orchestra of local musicians for the opening set.
That’s followed by a couple more sets featuring tunes from across Haynes’ career. Haynes, 64 has been busy. Gov’t Mule, the Southern Rock and jam band he co-founded with fellow ex-Allman Brother and bassist Allen Woody, who died in 2006, released it’s 13th studio album in the summer of 2023.
He’s also recorded a new solo album with the new lineup of the Warren Haynes Band called “A Million Voices Whisper,” due out later this year, which he also plans to tour behind. Gov’t Mule’s 30th anniversary is in 2025 and that milestone will bring a tour and the premier of some previously unreleased recordings and perhaps a few archival live shows for fans. The Asheville, North Carolina native’s soulful 180-grit sandpaper voice and blues and jazz-infused playing have long made him an icon among jam band and Southern Rock fans.
He has already released three solo album under his own name, 1993′.
