The Gov’t Mule & Allman Brothers Band guitarist & singer joins us at Schwangri-La
Welcome to the show. We are thrilled to be joined by Warren Haynes, former Allman Brother and very much current Gov’t Mule! Warren has a stellar reputation as a guitarist, singer and songwriter, not to mention as a tonesmith and appreciator of all things good when it comes to six strings.
He was en route back to the US following some tour dates in Europe, so he stopped in to TPS to hang out and get some tones going.
Warren didn’t have any gear with him – it was all in transit – so he picked up Dan’s Les Paul as his fave of the TPS bunch, and we put a rig together that somewhat resembles the kind of stuff he would typically use. As you’ll hear, fun was had… Enjoy the show!
Big thanks to Jim Walsh for making this happen - cheers buddy!
