Alan Haynes is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on February 19, 1956 in Houston, Texas, United States. Texas guitarist who collaborated with many greats like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Winter.
He performed with many blues legends, including Bonnie Raitt and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Alan’s sound is characterized by a warm tone achieved by playing vintage Strats through vintage Fender amps. His main guitar is a 1960 Fender Stratocaster with a C-Profile rosewood fret board and Dakota Red body. It was previously owned by Stevie Ray Vaughan and prior to Stevie, it belonged to Eric Johnson. The guitar has also been played by Billy Gibbons, Carlos Santana and Johnny Winter. Pickups on this guitar are stock and therefore have a vintage sound. His favorite amp setup includes a Fender Vibroking and an Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini. Previously a heavy strings user (11’s and 12’s), Haynes now employs any 10-46 set of strings and prefers standard tuning.
In the late 1970s Alan joined the Texas Boogie Band as a second guitarist but eventually became the main guitarist. Alan moved to Austin, TX in the early 1980s. While playing with the Texas Boogie Band, Haynes got to open and share the stage with legendary Blues artists such as Muddy Waters. Alan and the Texas Boogie Band were, by that time, the house band at the Texas Opry House, also getting radio broadcasting in Houston (on 101KLOL). Alan would later lead his own band, “Alan Haynes and the Stepchildren” and release his first EP, “Seventh Son” in 1984 under the Orphan label. Stepchildren included legendary Blues-Rock drummer Uncle John Turner, who had played with the likes of Johnny Winter during the late 1960s and early 1970s and recorded milestone Blues albums. Alan was inducted into the “Buddy magazine Texas Tornado List” in 1980 and his band was voted “Best Blues Band” by the “Music City Austin – Music Poll” in 1985. Later on, for about six years in the 1990s, Alan was the house band at Antone’s “home of the Blues.” During those years, in 1994, Alan released his second studio album, Wishing Well. This time he had life friends and former Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble rhythm sections Chris Layton on drums, Tommy Shannon on bass, and Reese Wynans on keyboards. Alan also counted on Preston Hubbard from the Fabulous Thunderbirds and George Rains (Jimmie Vaughan’s drummer) for this album. The result was earned Haynes a featured article in the “Guitar Player” magazine in August 1995. Alan would later continue playing locally and in Europe and would record two more albums on his own, but this time capturing the emotions of live performances. These two, “Live at the Blue Cat Blues” recorded in Dallas in 1998 with Jim Suhler and “Live at the Big Easy” recorded in Houston in 2001 would result in Haynes’ last works to date.
He was born in Houston, Texas.
