WARREN HAYNES and his ALL STAR BAND + special guest JOE LOUIS WALKER and his band
Here we have celebrated American guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, Warren Haynes, lead guitarist for The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers (and of course Gov’t Mule) with his ALL-STAR BAND. Special guest is Blues guitar legend Joe Louis Walker and his band making for an evening of double-barrel guitar heroics and action!
Warren, named the 23rd best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone’s, and his ALL-STAR BAND will help him showcase new soul-oriented material under the Warren Haynes Band banner in anticipation of his first solo album for 19 years, tentatively titled “Man in Motion.”
His fantastic ALL-STAR band includes: Warren Haynes Guitar – Vocals; Ron Holloway – Sax (much loved jazz legend who has worked with Sonny Rollins, The Allman Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Scott-Heron and Root Boy Slim); Danny Louis – Keyboards, Vocals (keyboardist extraordinaire for Stockholm Syndrome and Gov't Mule); Ruthie Foster - Vocals, Guitar (acclaimed artist and singer that blends blues, gospel, country-folk and jazz stylings); Ron Johnson – Bass (New Monsoon, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Panjea); and Terence Higgins – Drums (the New Orleans monster drummer and driving force behind The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, also worked with George Porter Jr., Fats Domino, Dr. John, Marva Wright, Jon Cleary, Norah Jones, John Scofield, and The Black Crows).
Joining Warren Haynes as special guest is Joe Louis Walker, one of the last great Blues guitar heroes – and current holder of the 2010 Blues Music Award for Album of the Year! The Philadelphia Inquirer calls Joe “one of the preeminent bluesmen of his generation”, and Blues Revue says he is “soulful, heartfelt and spellbinding”. We say with his name placed alongside B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, axe lovers should not miss the chance to see Joe Louis Walker. Labeled as one of the most exciting and innovative Blues artists of recent decades, the multiple Grammy and Blues Music Award-winner has garnered fans such as Mick Jagger, B.B. King, The Edge, Bono, and Herbie Hancock, who show up at his concerts whenever the opportunity arises!
