While he still performs with the aforementioned groups, he also embarked on a solo career in 1993, sporadically releasing albums under his given name, as well as performing with Phil Lesh & Friends and The Dead. While touring his solo material, Haynes often performs with a backing band under the moniker The Warren Haynes Band.
