Warren Haynes leading Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration on tour, adds more Cap shows with Phil Lesh
Gov’t Mule leader, former Allman Brothers member and Dead Family associate Warren Haynes will once again lead the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration on a tour this summer. The tour has him teaming up with local orchestras and other musicians in each city, to re-interpret Jerry’s originals and trademark covers.
