The newly formed Warren Haynes Band announces its inaugural tour beginning with an April gig at Florida’s Wanee Festival and wrapping in July at the Cahors Blues Festival in France.
The Gov’t Mule / Allman Brothers Band guitarist’s latest project is an R&B-infused group featuring bassist Ron Johnson, Terence Higgins on drums, keyboardist Nigel Hall and Ruthie Foster on backing vocals. For the band’s May 12 New York City debut at the Beacon Theatre, Haynes & company will be joined by Stax Records legend William Bell. The singer is known for his trademark gravel-and-honey voice on hits like “Trying To Love Two” and his duet with Judy Clay called “Private Number” as well as co-writing “Born Under A Bad Sign” with Booker T. Jones.

William Bell, Counting Crows Among Christmas Jam Highlights

The weekend’s musical festivities began on Friday night with Haynes’ annual
more intimate Christmas Pre-Jam at the Orange Peel.

The super jam portion of the night continued with a funk and soul-based
ensemble that boasted Holloway, Meters bassist George Porter Jr., Lettuce
drummer Adam Deitch, Soulive/Lettuce guitarist Eric Krasno, New Orleans
staple Trombone Shorty and trumpeter Craig Sorrells. After a few songs,
STAX legend William Bell, perhaps this year’s most inspired and influential guest musician, appeared to front the ad hoc group of musicians for a few songs, including “Everybody Loves a Winner.”

The weekend’s festivities continued Saturday night at the Civic Center.

The Christmas Jam’s funk ensemble reassembled for a two-part performance.
The second part of the set found the musicians backing William Bell. The
set read like a STAX and soul greatest hits list: a take on “Hard to
Handle” that also featured Audley Freed, a version of “Everyday is a
Holiday” with both Freed and Haynes, and an all-star jam based around his
original “Born Under a Bad Sign” that drew in Freed, Haynes and Whitford,
among other song highlights. As Haynes mentioned in a recent Jambands.com interview, Whitford also played “Born Under a Bad Sign” with Gov’t Mule a few years ago.
