“This is a project I’ve been thinking about ever since I was given the opportunity to interpret and celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia with a symphony a few years ago. When I was recently asked to perform at the Amadeus Festival it seemed like a great opportunity to start diving into my own repertoire and continue my symphonic journey. I am so lucky to be able to begin this with three of my favorite musicians in the world; Oteil, John and Jeff,” says Haynes.

Haynes‘ orchestral brilliance was last on display when he embarked on the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration Featuring Warren Haynes in 2013 and 2014 – a groundbreaking, hugely popular orchestral adventure curated by the Garcia family that saw Haynescollaborating with some of the country’s most respected symphonies to perform Garcia’s original compositions as well as classic interpretations of timeless standards that were hallmarks of Garcia and the Grateful Dead’s shows. Now, Warren Haynes Presents: Dreams & Songs – A Symphonic Journey turns the spotlight onto Haynes‘ catalogue and 30-year career – the first time ever that Haynes has presented a show of his own music through a symphonic prism.The title of the show is a nod to Gov’t Mule‘s gorgeous, emotional track “Dreams & Songs” (PRESS HERE), a moving reflection on how the passing of time and life’s changes can move one further away from home, and beautifully captures the yearning to go back to that place, even if just through dreams and songs. Luckily for Haynes fans, he is returning home to Asheville for what is sure to be yet another outstanding evening of music in Haynes’ celebrated career.
