  • Warren Haynes Returns with Soulful Album “Million Voices Whisper” and Looney Tunes Performance

    Warren Haynes, legendary guitarist, songwriter, and Gov’t Mule frontman, has just released his highly anticipated solo album Million Voices Whisper via Fantasy Records. This album, his first solo effort in nearly a decade, captures Haynes’ blend of soulful blues-rock with a fresh perspective and messages of resilience, self-discovery, and hope.

    The lead single, “This Life As We Know It,” encapsulates Haynes’ theme of embracing change and finding positivity. Accompanied by an in-studio video from Power Station New England, the track serves as an uplifting introduction to the album’s 11-track journey. Produced by Haynes, Million Voices Whisper features powerhouse collaborations, including Derek Trucks, Lukas Nelson, and Jamey Johnson, alongside Haynes’ core band members John Medeski, Terence Higgins, and Kevin Scott.

    Haynes celebrated the release with a special in-store appearance at Looney Tunes Records in West Babylon on November 2nd, performing five solo electric songs including “Back Where I Started,” “This Life As We Know It,” and “To The Sun Comes Shining Through.” The intimate set offered fans a unique, close-up experience of Haynes’ exceptional guitar work and vocal intensity, leaving the crowd with a taste of the album’s soulful energy.

    Supporting Million Voices Whisper, Haynes and his band have embarked on a 16-date fall tour along the East Coast, followed by his Now Is The Time Tour, a symphonic experience featuring reimagined selections from his career.

    Million Voices Whisper is available on all digital platforms and for pre-order on vinyl, with the deluxe CD version featuring four bonus tracks. For more details, visit Warren Haynes’ official website.

This year marks the 22nd year in a row the band has hosted the annual New Year’s Run.

    Gov’t Mule has galvanized a global fan base with their honest, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. This celebratory performance is one you’ll want to see live at the Beacon Theatre this December.

I’m looking forward to being with the band revisiting some of the stuff we haven’t played in a long, long time and, of course, being with our incredible fans.”
