As you may recall, the Warren Haynes Band was tapped by New Orleans Jazz Fest organizers to replace Levon Helm at the Fairgrounds on May 5. Today, Haynes’ Twitter account revealed that the WHB will be joined by New Orleans legend Dr. John for “a few songs” on the 5th.
Haynes has performed with Dr. John at the closing show of the Allman Brothers Band’s 2011 Beacon Run and both men backed John Scofield on the guitarist’s That’s What I Say Ray Charles tribute album. The Warren Haynes Band is scheduled to play the Blues Tent on May 5 at 5:30PM.
