The Hardest Working Man In Motion Brings It On Home Warren Haynes Band @ Beacon Theatre, May 13
Exactly one week after hosting a great “party” at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans, Warren Haynes returned to his adopted hometown and the stage that he has played more than any other artist in the long history of the Beacon Theatre.

Unlike the Big Easy show billed with a lot of special guests including George Porter Jr., Walter “Wolfman” Washington and Trombone Shorty, the NYC show was only supposed to feature Stax recording legend William Bell. Bell is probably most famous for co-writing the Albert King hit Born Under A Bad Sign and for his 1961 song You Don’t Miss Your Water.
Haynes has never been one to do anything less than leave it all on the stage. And for this reason he has a rabid fan base that are always willing to hear what his new material is about. For more than a decade he played what started as aggressive power trio blues rock in the vein of Cream with Gov’t Mule. Now he now finds himself full circle back to his more soulful side that he originally touched upon with his 1993 release Tales of Ordinary Madness.
