See below for all upcoming Gov’t Mule and Warren Haynes tour dates.
Gov’t Mule – Warren Haynes [guitar, vocals], Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Kevin Scott [bass] – released their 12th studio album, Peace…Like A River (Fantasy Records), in 2023 to high praise. Hailed as “perfection,” “captivating,” “riveting,” and among the band’s best, the 12-song rock collection is highlighted by the singles “Dreaming Out Loud” featuring Ivan Neville and Ruthie Foster, “Same As It Ever Was” and “Made My Peace” as well as additional guest appearances from Billy F Gibbons, Billy Bob Thornton and Celisse. PRESS HERE to listen.
Since releasing Peace…Like A River, Haynes issued his fourth solo album, Million Voices Whisper, in 2024 and followed that up with The Whisper Sessions, a stripped-down companion album to Million Voices Whisper, in September 2025. Both albums, available via Fantasy Records, were produced by Haynes and feature his longtime Allman Brothers Band bandmate Derek Trucks on multiple tracks. Million Voices Whisper – Haynes’ first solo release in nearly a decade – is a searing collection of soulful blues-rock. On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Whisper Sessions is an intimate compilation that peels back the layers to spotlight Haynes’ soulful voice, masterful guitar work, and the heartfelt storytelling at the core of his music. PRESS HERE to listen to Million Voices Whisper and PRESS HERE to listen to The Whisper Sessions.
This past Friday, January 30th, Haynes released a re-mixed and re-mastered version of his 1993 debut solo studio album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, via Megaforce Records. The expanded 12-track album, produced by Chuck Leavell and co-produced by Haynes, includes the singles “Fire In the Kitchen” and “I’ll Be The One” and new bonus track “Tear Me Down.” PRESS HERE to listen. In support of the new release, Haynes is embarking on his Winter of Warren 2026 Tour featuring a rare, intimate solo tour from February 12–26 – where Warren and his guitar will explore all aspects of his incredible catalog as well as the music that has inspired and influenced him – and Warren Haynes Band headlining dates from March 1–7.
