BETHEL — GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule front man Warren Haynes is unveiling a brand-new live show in 2024: the Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience, featuring two sets of symphonic music plus a third set of Haynes’ signature rock/soul blend alongside the debut of the new Warren Haynes Band. The show will debut with three special nights this June including Friday, June 7 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts in Bethel. Tickets are on sale now.

All shows on the Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience will be conducted by Rich Daniels of Chicago’s City Lights Orchestra, leading locally sourced orchestras in each market. The show will explore all aspects of Warren’s incredible catalog and career including music from Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, Jerry Garcia, his solo albums, and more set to never-before heard arrangements for all songs, except the Garcia tunes which will find Haynes revisiting compositions from the groundbreaking Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration tour. 

Accompanying Warren Haynes (vocals, guitar) for the new 2024 incarnation of the Warren Haynes Band will be longtime friend and famed keyboardist John Medeski (most notably known as one-third of the groundbreaking trio Medeski, Martin & Wood), Gov’t Mule bassist Kevin Scott, and returning WHB member and two-time Grammy Award-winning drummer Terence Higgins, recognized for his work with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Ani DiFranco and others. In addition to the Now Is The Time Tour, the band heads to Europe in June for an 8-date trek featuring a mix of headlining shows and festival appearances. Upon return, the Warren Haynes Band will be supporting Slash at the West Coast dates of the S.E.R.P.E.N.T Festival from July 5th through 14th.

The Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience follows the hugely popular Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration, which featured 30 total shows throughout 2013-2016. The beloved production provided Warren the opportunity to interpret and celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia and ultimately served as inspiration to create his own symphonic event. In March 2019, Haynes, who is currently nominated for Blues Rock Artist at the 2024 Blues Music Awards, first premiered his show “Dreams & Songs – A Symphonic Journey” to rave reviews with two sold-out shows with the Asheville Symphony Orchestra in Warren’s hometown of Asheville, NC. Alongside a full orchestra and an A-list band of core musicians, the one-of-a-kind evenings featured symphonic adaptations of his career-spanning material in a unique and distinctive way, allowing Haynes to stay true to his rock and improvisational roots while also embracing the power and beauty of the symphony. The all-new Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience will expand upon the original “Dreams & Songs” shows with a remarkable three-set experience, showcasing the unmatched career of one of the most impressive guitarists and vocalists of the modern era.
