Music lovers in Pittsburgh have a special treat this spring. Guitarist and Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes will share the stage with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for the “Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience” on March 30 at Heinz Hall.
What to Expect
Conducted by Rich Daniels, known for his work with Chicago’s City Lights Orchestra, Haynes will be backed by his all‑star band while the full symphony adds its rich, orchestral texture. The set list will draw from every chapter of Haynes’s career, including classic Gov’t Mule riffs, Allman Brothers Band staples, selections from the Grateful Dead, and highlights from his solo albums.
A Growing Musical Journey
The Symphonic Experience debuted in 2019 in Haynes’s hometown of Asheville, N.C., and has since traveled to venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver and stages in New Orleans, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati. In September, Haynes released “Dreams and Songs: A Symphonic Journey,” a 16‑track live album recorded with the 64‑piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium.
