Warren Haynes Adds ‘Million Voices Whisper’ Fall Tour To Busy Itinerary

The Warren Haynes Band continues its road warrior ways with the “Million Voices Whisper Tour” in the fall, launching Sept. 19 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and wrapping Oct. 12 in Boston. The announcement comes on the heels of a leg in support of Slash’s “S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival” and coincides with the release of a new studio album, Million Voices Whisper.

Additional tour stops include Jacksonville and St. Petersburg, Florida; Richmond, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; Nashville; Syracuse, New York; and Philadelphia among the 16 cities on the itinerary.

Fan Club presale tickets will be available starting Wednesday, July 24 at 12 noon local time with local presales beginning Thursday, July 25, also at noon local time. The general onsale begins Friday, July 26th at 12pm local time. A limited number of specially curated fan packages will be available for the fall tour, in addition to the band’s in-progress summer tour. 

Packages include one Ultimate Guitar Player Package per show, featuring a Les Paul Classic, Translucent Cherry guitar to be played at the show by Warren and signed and delivered in a private post-show meet & greet with a photo with Warren, premium reserved seats, and more, and the Guitar Player Package, which includes an autographed Gibson Les Paul Standard Pickguard, a set of custom Warren Haynes guitar picks in collector box, a Dunlop guitar slide, and set of GHS strings (items as used by Warren), plus priority access and more. To purchase VIP packages and for more information, visit Haynes’ website.

Performing alongside Haynes (vocals, guitar) for the new all-star lineup of the Warren Haynes Band is Gov’t Mule bassist Kevin Scott, veteran 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; and the venerable Greg Osby on sax, with Matt Slocum on keys for the summer tour.

Longtime friend and famed keyboardist John Medeski (most notably known as one-third of the groundbreaking trio Medeski, Martin & Wood) returns to the fold for the band’s fall tour. The Warren Haynes Band recently made their live debut on a European tour and a seven-show run directly supporting Slash on the West Coast dates of his blues-infused “S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival,” which received critical acclaim and saw Slash join the WHB for an impressive take on the Haynes classic “Soulshine” at various shows.

The hectic touring schedule more than makes up for time lost during the COVID pandemic, and in the recording studio. While he has continued his annual “Christmas Jam” benefits and performed at festivals and on cruises since restrictions were lifted, these mark the first full tours by the guitar master since 2019.

“In a post-pandemic mindset, it’s even more important [to experiment stylistically and to tour],” Haynes told Pollstar in an interview earlier this year. “Let’s do what is most important to ourselves. And I think the audience understands and appreciates that as well. If you have things on your list that you need to check off, let’s start checking them off now, you know?”

Checking off the bucket list continues as last week Haynes officially debuted the “Now Is The Time Tour” featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience featuring a full set of symphonic music and another set of Haynes’ signature rock/soul blend, with the band augmented by background singers Saundra Williams and Mayteana Morales. 

The brand-new show explores 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 (including the Grammy-nominated Man In Motion), and more, set to never-before heard arrangements for all songs, except the Garcia tunes which finds Haynes revisiting compositions from the groundbreaking “Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration” tour. Following its launch in Indianapolis and Detroit this past weekend, the “Now Is The Time Tour” featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience continues in Grand Rapids and proceeds to stop throughout Ohio this month with shows in Cleveland, Huber Heights, and Cincinnati. On Sept. 10, the tour will make a special stop at Red Rocks Amphitheatre with the Colorado Symphony. See below for all upcoming tour dates. All symphonic shows will be conducted by Rich Daniels of Chicago’s City Lights Orchestra.
