Warren Haynes

Warren Haynes came up playing guitar in Asheville, North Carolina, where he absorbed blues and Southern rock. He joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1989, adding slide guitar to their sound during a period that included albums like 'Seven Turns' and 'Shittin' the Note.'

Alongside that work, he formed the power trio Gov't Mule in 1994, a vehicle for heavier, more experimental playing. He also released solo albums such as 'Playing with Fire' and 'Man in Motion.' His own songs include 'Tastes Like Wine,' 'Hattiesburg Hustle,' and 'Patchwork Quilt.'

Haynes has been open about past substance abuse, and in 2015 he faced sexual misconduct allegations from a former fan, which he denied. He continues to perform and record, most recently with Gov't Mule, which has included members like drummer Matt Abts and bassist Danny Louis.
