Before their summer outing, Gov’t Mule is hitting the road on a spring headlining tour kicking off on Tuesday, April 7th. The 17-date trek includes a run of co-headlining dates with Larkin Poe and festival appearances at Joe Bonamassa's Sound Wave Beach Weekend and Gasparilla Music Festival before wrapping at The Orpheum Theater in New Orleans on May 1st for the second night of a two-night venue takeover from Haynes, who will also perform there on April 30th with the Warren Haynes Band for one of their Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience shows with The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. See below for all upcoming 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” 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. Haynes also recently issued an expanded, re-mixed and re-mastered version of his 1993 debut solo studio album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, via Megaforce Records on January 30th. PRESS HERE to listen.
