With over 40 years of touring experience, you’d think Warren Haynes would be out of surprises. But in the style of his dynamic guitar solos, the skilled improviser continues to explore new territory. Haynes is embarking on his first-ever solo tour with an 11-date run. Alone with his guitar and powerful, raspy voice, he’ll pull from the vast catalog recorded by his solo band, jam band Gov’t Mule, and the Allman Brothers Band, with whom he played from 1989 until the legendary group again disbanded in 2014. Expect Haynes to push the boundaries of his abilities as he condenses elaborate and big-sounding songs down into six strings – or sometimes more. – Joseph Gonzalez
