The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience is heading to three new cities this spring. Warren Haynes will bring the special live production to Atlanta on March 7th, Pittsburgh on March 30th, and Buffalo on April 1st, joining two previously announced performances in Nashville on March 11th and 12th. Tickets for the new dates went on sale to the public at noon Eastern, and with each show built around a full orchestra, seats in these historic halls are likely to go quickly.

A City’s Own Orchestra on Stage

Each performance pairs Haynes and his all star band with the host city’s own symphony orchestra, led by conductor Rich Daniels of Chicago’s City Lights Orchestra. The Atlanta show takes place at Atlanta Symphony Hall with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and the Nashville nights are at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center with the Nashville Symphony. In Pittsburgh the production moves to Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and the run closes at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Music

The evening brings together songs from across Haynes’ career, including music from Gov’t Mule, the Allman Brothers Band, the Grateful Dead, and his solo catalog, all reimagined through bold orchestral arrangements that give the familiar material a new perspective. The experience is captured on his latest live album, Dreams and Songs: A Symphonic Journey, released in September. Recorded over two nights at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, North Carolina, with the sixty four piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra, the sixteen track set was co produced by Don Was and Haynes and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Now fans in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo get the chance to hear the collaboration live in their own cities.

Tickets and VIP

The new dates went through a fan club presale and venue presales earlier in the week, and the public on sale opened Friday, November 6th, at noon Eastern. Limited VIP packages are available, including a Guitar Player package, a Symphonic Experience package, and an Ultimate Guitar package that features a signed Warren Haynes Les Paul and a post show meet and greet.
