Biographie
Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Warren Haynes was surrounded by soul, R&B and blues from an early age, picking through his older brothers’ record collection of the likes of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Smokey Robinson. By 12, Haynes had picked up the guitar, taking to it like a duck to water, soon finding himself playing at parties as he tried to emulate his hero, Eric Clapton’s sound.
By his later teens Haynes was regularly playing in North Carolina clubs, joining the popular band Ricochet. David Allan Coe’s bassist saw Haynes play and impressed, he secured Haynes a gig with the band after their former lead guitarist left. Haynes played with Coe’s band for four years (1980 to 1984), during which he embarked on several tours and appeared on three albums.
A brief stint with the Nighthawks acted as an interlude between gigs, with Haynes later joining former Allman Brothers guitarist, Dickey Betts, appearing on his album, “Pattern Disruptive,” in 1988. The following year, Betts and Greg Allman reformed their band, bringing Haynes in as their second guitarist. At this time, Haynes also formed his own band, who performed in between his commitments with the Allman Brothers.
In 1993, Haynes released his first solo album, “Tales of Ordinary Madness,” yet then formed another group the following year, Gov’t Mule, a trio with the Allman Brothers’ Allen Woody (bass) and Matt Abts (drums). After their self-titled debut, Haynes decided to focus solely on Gov’t Mule, leaving the Allman Brothers. However, the tragic death of Allen Woody in 2000 stalled the project, with Haynes rejoining the Allman Brothers. Eventually, Gov’t Mule continued as a duo, playing shows for the next few years with a revolving door of bassists. By 2003, the lineup had solidified again with Andy Hess (bass) and Danny Louis (keyboards).
Warren Haynes moved to another classic rock act in 2004, having being asked to join with the Grateful Dead, playing on their first reunion tour in 2009. Haynes then started his band back up again, whist continuing with these several commitments, forever busy as an artist. Haynes also featured on several collaborations, from Dave Matthews to Corrosion of Conformity, still highly in demand. With 2011’s “Man in Motion,” Haynes returned to his southern soul roots, released on the legendary Stax label. The live album, “Live at the Moody Theater,” followed in 2012, offering the perfect showcase of Haynes incredible talent.

Although Warren Haynes is best known for his stellar guitar playing and credits with The Allman Brothers Band, he is in fact very talented solo vocalist himself. I was unaware of this, and came across his music when researching the Brothers Band to try and get tickets to a gig. I listened to a few of his tracks on YouTube, and before I knew it, I’d gone right ahead and bought The Lone EP, and a few of his singles.
Seeing him live really makes you appreciate the talent that he has within him. The concert was over two hours long, and for every single song, he was entirely invested in what he was playing. Form track to track, the energy grew. His vocals were on top form, and the guitar solos were simply out of this world. Watching his fingers dance across the fret board was something that is simply incomprehensible to me! The addition of the symphony behind him transported the audience to another dimension entirely, and when he played Shakedown Street, every single audience member was up on their feet, jumping and dancing around like mad. The performance was of such a high standard that it simply flew by, no one wanted it to end, it was a showcase of such classic talent that was on absolute top form. I would definitely recommend seeing Haynes in concert for a fusion of great vocals and incredible guitar start to finish.

My knees are still weak!!
Very special once in a lifetime oppurtunity and it could not have been any better...SURREAL heart still pounding!
Warren Haynes so kind, so personable...so humble...the evenings event was not really publish-sized much (stroke of luck for me), held in the Clive Davis Theater (intimate 200 people max capacity) interview and private show (acoustic - about 6 numbers). Afterwords, we had the opportunity for meet n greet signing; so it goes down like this as my smile was bigger than my face and my ears were hot:
"We'll looks like I'm the last one in line, yet the LUCKIEST"... Chatting it up, ask Warren to sign my very special Jay Blacksberg book "Guitars That Jam" and if he has a favorite photo - not surprised at all he pics "Farmer"! I congratulate him on a great Conan performance from the night before and said shoot when you offered the "pic" to Conan that was awesome and how I would have loved that! Warren says "Why Thank You that was a lot of fun and Ohhh you mean like the one I have right here in my pocket"!?!
BE STILL MY THROBBING HEART...My SOUL is definitely SHINING!!! You're a beautiful man Mr Warren Haynes!!!!

Blues and rock guitarist Warren Haynes is one of those musicians who seems to have collaborated with so many iconic acts on the circuit. The long serving member of The Allman Brothers Band has also worked with Allan Coe and is a close friend of the remaining members of The Grateful Dead. Therefore on his solo tours you are never quite sure what he is going to perform as he could reach back to numerous parts of his long career.
Now in his 50s, the main man is not losing any of his skill with a guitar as he still stands proudly centerstage and tears through impressive instrumental at a head spinning speed. He has a really great interaction with his audience and there is definitely a banter there as Warren has a wicked sense of humour. He plays 'Spots of Time' by the Allman Brothers Band to wrap up a really brilliant setlist from across his discography. He thanks the audience and says good night yet the cheers bring him and his band back for one more song and tonight it is a cover of 'Patchwork Quilt' by another firm collaborator Phil Lesh.

let me tell all fans that were not aBLE TO ATTEND HIS SHOW ON 10/7 IN WESTBURY. IT WAS WORTH THE 3 HOUR WAIT FOR THIS MAGNIFICENT MAGICIAN. WARREN HAYNES COVERED ALL ASPECTS OF HIS CAREER. THE SOUND WAS FANTASTIC.HE JUST BLEW ME AWAY! STANDING IN THE FRONT ROW, HOW CAN IT GET MUCH BETTER, AT LEAST FOR ME? THE 2 HOUR SETS WERE SOME OF THE BEST QUALITY THAT I'VE HEARD IN YEARS. THIS NEW CD SET, {ASHES TO DUST} IS BY FAR HIS MOST PERSONABLE WORK EVER. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY FAN OF WARREN'S, TO MAKE IT THEIR TOP PRIORITY, TO GO SEE THIS MAN, WHO I'M PROUD TO CALL MY FRIEND, IT'S A MUST! TRUST ME, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. WAYNE CHERTOFF

The show was put on very nicely from my point of view as a recovering alcoholic. The Rock sounded great in this venue from the last row in the place. The warm up band was outstanding and enjoyable with great vocals It is nice to see Rock Stars assist Right Turn and I would love to see one at a meeting someday. Thanks to everyone for doing that performance. I for one Rocker really enjoyed the show !

Fan-fucking-tactic!! Warren never disappoints. Wasn't sure what to expect from his new band, but they were amazing!
They had a gray setlist, playing grateful dead, allman, and a variety of other cover tunes. Incredible show!

Great show, but noisy crowd and not enough volume. tough to hear intricacies of orchestra.
Good band. 3 sets. Surprised Bobby didn't make an appearance since he was in town already.
