Dave Matthews Band has called on a number of guests for their current tour, but the announcement for tonight’s show my take the cake. Master guitarist Warren Haynes will join up with the group, once again bringing his signature sound to the renowned band.
DMB has been performing acoustic and electric sets on their current tour, which has seen the likes of Emmylou Harris and Kofi Burbridge as guest musicians. Bela Fleck has some guest spots scheduled with Dave, but, for tonight, it’s all about Warren.
Haynes has been busy himself, between touring with Gov’t Mule (they played a Dark Side of the Mule set at Mountain Jam), recording and touring with Railroad Earth, and gearing up for some all-star sets at this year’s Gathering of the Vibes festival.
Tonight’s show will take place at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. Warren first guested with the band in 1993, so there is a long history between Haynes and the DMB, which is sure to create an electric performance. Here’s an incredible version of “Cortez the Killer” from Central Park:
