Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey, mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain (David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones), explores all aspects of Warren’s incredible catalog and 30+ year career with music from Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, his solo albums, and more, reimagined with bold new orchestral arrangements. To help create these unique takes on such beloved songs, Haynes recruited a team of orchestral arrangers for each individual song, including industry-renowned giants such as David Campbell (Adele, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce), Jim Gray (Barbra Streisand, Imagine Dragons), Tom Matta (Aretha Franklin, Art Garfunkel), Vince Mendoza (Sting, Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell), Sean O’Loughlin (Josh Groban, Sarah McLachlan), and Chris Walden (Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder). To tease the release of the expansive 16-track live collection, Haynes has already released his striking orchestral takes on the Grateful Dead classic “Shakedown Street” (PRESS HERE to watch the official live video), the Gov’t Mule fan-favorite “Banks of the Deep End” (PRESS HERE to watch the official live video), and the Mule hits “Raven Black Night” (PRESS HERE to watch the official live video) and “Thorazine Shuffle” (PRESS HERE to watch official live video).

Until then, Warren Haynes remains busy on the road with his bandmates in Gov’t Mule. The revered GRAMMY-nominated quintet, who recently wrapped their summer headlining tour, will be embarking on the Dreaming The Same Dream Tour with reggae icon Ziggy Marley this fall. The 16-date co-headlining outing, also featuring a guest DJ set from YOLA, kicks off September 23rd in NYC and runs until October 17th. And new for this year, Gov’t Mule is moving their annual New Year’s Eve show to Boston for the first time for a special “Gov’t Mule & Friends” show, marking their first NYE celebration outside of NYC in over 20 years.

About Warren Haynes:
Visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist Warren Haynes is a cornerstone of the American music landscape, lauded as one of the most formidable guitarists and vocalists of the modern era and a prolific songwriter and producer. He effortlessly cross-pollinates genres and unfurls solos that broil with passion in his distinctive, signature style. Throughout his prolific career as part of three of the greatest live groups in rock history – Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule and the Dead – and an acclaimed solo artist, he has become one of music’s most treasured storytellers and his artistry has led to thousands of memorable performances and millions of album and track sales. Haynes is a beacon of creativity and musical excellence that inspires fans as well as fellow musicians, evidenced by the diverse array of artists that he has performed and recorded with, including Dave Matthews Band, Peter Frampton, Chris Stapleton, Coheed and Cambria, Dave Grohl, Carlos Santana, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton, and many more. After joining the Allman Brothers Band in 1989, Haynes released his first solo album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, in 1993 and soon after, he formed Gov’t Mule originally as a side project during band breaks. The Mule has since created a revered catalog over the past 30 years, including multiple GRAMMY nominations, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, respected and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. Following a handful of solo live releases in 2003 and 2004, Haynes — ranked among the “Greatest Guitarists of All Time” by Rolling Stone – released his GRAMMY-nominated sophomore solo album, Man In Motion, in 2011 and his third solo collection, Ashes & Dust, in 2015. After nearly a decade, Warren issued his fourth solo album, Million Voices Whisper, in November 2024, debuting at the top of Billboard’s Blues Albums Chart. The self-produced collection of soulful blues-rock includes multiple appearances from his longtime ABB bandmate Derek Trucks as well as guest spots from Lukas Nelson and Jamey Johnson. He followed that up with its companion album, The Whisper Sessions, in September 2025, featuring stripped-down versions of select songs from Million Voices Whisper. Haynes also curates and hosts the Christmas Jam, an annual star-studded holiday charity show in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, which will celebrate its 34th year in 2026. As one of the most celebrated and longest-running live concerts in the U.S., the Christmas Jam has raised nearly $3 million for Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, constructing over 50 homes, and helps the region’s housing needs through newer partner BeLoved Asheville.
