Warren Haynes, Ashes & Dust, Gov’t Mule, Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration

Warren Haynes just announced several items of interest to fans. The first concerns rescheduled West Coast tour dates. Haynes and The Ashes & Dust Band (with Jeff Sipe and ChessBoxer) are happy to announce that they will be heading to the West Coast in March to make up the previously rescheduled performances.

Haynes will again join the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration for a series of shows this summer. “I’m very excited about doing these shows. We’ve chosen a very diverse list of songs from the extensive Jerry Garcia-related catalog, and in the true spirit of the original music we’ll be leaving room for improvisation and approaching the symphonic arrangements from a non-traditional direction. We are also going to vary the setlists to some extent for fans who want to attend multiple shows,” says Haynes.

“We (Gov’t Mule) would like to thank everyone who made the trip down to Runaway Bay, Jamaica, to join us for the seventh annual Island Exodus, and we hope everyone liked our new home at The Jewel Paradise Cove. Our goal this year was ‘the same ol’ Island Exodus, but in a nicer resort with better sound and production,’ and that’s certainly what it felt like to us.” Island Exodus 8 will definitely return to Jewel Paradise Cove in 2017.
