Singer, guitarist and songwriter Warren Haynes is a workaholic like no other. He has spent the better part of the last two years constantly touring and recording with some of the biggest names in rock: Gov't Mule, The Allman Brothers Band and Phil Lesh & Friends. Gov't Mule's Deep End Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, feature more than 20 of the world's most legendary bass players.

Haynes' latest, The Lone EP (ATO Records) was released June 17, 2003, in anticipation of the Warren Haynes Solo Acoustic record which will be out in the beginning of 2004. This 5 song, live EP will be available through selected independent retail, Mule.net and at Gov't Mule shows. It will be pressed in an extremely limited quantity and is destined to be a collector's item.

Haynes got his first big break when he appeared on Dickey Betts' 1986 solo album, Pattern Disruptive. Gregg Allman also decided to record "Just Before the Bullets Fly," which Haynes co-wrote, as the title track to his album the same year.

When The Allman Brothers Band reformed in 1989 and needed a guitarist, Haynes was the obvious choice. Allen Woody filled out the sound on bass. Three studio albums, two live albums and four Grammy nominations resulted. The ABB won a Grammy for the live version of "Jessica" from an Evening with the Allman Brothers Second Set in 1995. During his first stint with ABB, Haynes released his first solo album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, in 1992.

Warren Haynes is also quite an accomplished songwriter. Garth Brooks had a long running number one hit with Haynes' "Two of a Kind (Working on a Full House)" in 1991.

In search of a new creative outlet, Haynes and Woody formed Gov't Mule with drummer Matt Abts in 1994. The power trio's stripped down, blues-rock improvisation was an immediate hit with fans. Gov't Mule's self-titled debut album was released in 1995, followed by 1996's Live at Roseland Ballroom. By April of 97, Haynes and Woody resigned from the Allman Brothers to focus solely on the 'Mule. The studio follow-up Dose appeared in early 1998; and yet another live set, 1999's Live...With A Little Help From Our Friends.

Gov't Mule's fifth release, Life Before Insanity, was issued in early 2000, but just a few months after its release founding member Allen Woody passed away. Devastated, Haynes and Abts opted to carry on with The Deep End: Volumes I & II. The albums are a tribute to Allen Woody. For these recordings, Haynes and Abts were joined by twenty of the greatest bassists of all time including John Entwistle, Flea and Jason Newsted. Gov't Mule was nominated for a Grammy for "Sco Mule" which features John Scofield on guitar.

Rising Low, a documentary on the Deep End sessions directed by Phish bassist Mike Gordon, officially debuted at the 2002 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX. It won the Joe Jarvis Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the Newport International Film Festival.

Haynes is a guitarist and main singer in Phil Lesh & Friends. Warren Haynes' soulful vocals, creative songwriting, and incendiary guitar work remains the cornerstone of Phil Lesh & Friends.

Haynes has rekindled the Allman Brothers Band yet again having rejoined the band in 2001 resulting in the 2003 ABB album Hittin' The Note. Warren Haynes co-wrote all nine of the original songs on the eleven track album. Haynes also produced and mixed the record with Michael Barbiero (Guns & Roses, Blues Traveler).

THE DEEPEST END concert is the culmination of the "The Deep End" project and took place Saturday, May 3, 2003, at the gorgeous Saenger Theatre in New Orleans, LA. This historic performance was recorded for an October 2003 live album and DVD release. Gov't Mule, as it often does, will tour extensively in support of this release this fall.
