Ray Benson founded Asleep at the Wheel in Paw Paw, West Virginia 46 years ago. Now based in Austin, the band holds 10 Grammy awards, 20 studio albums and 20 singles on the Billboard country charts. The Grammy Award-winning Still The King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys is the band’s most recent release (2015) and marks their third full-length Bob Wills tribute album. Featuring 22 acclaimed collaborations, the all-star line up includes legends such as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and George Strait and newcomers like The Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Old Crow Medicine Show and many other fine talents.
Asleep at the Wheel is bringing a fresh look and sound into 2016. Now traveling as an 8-piece band, recent additions Katie Shore (fiddle, vocals), Dennis Ludiker (fiddle, mandolin) and Connor Forsyth (keyboard, vocals) have instilled a newfound energy and their own unique style within the band. Between those Texas Twin Fiddles and Boogie Piano, you can bet you’ll be dancin’ down the aisles and swingin’ all night long when the Wheel rolls into town!
This sounds like a fun plan.
My husband’s all time favorite!
Best Western Swing ever!!
Yes please, Austin favorite!
This is the most amazing bunch of Country Western Swing / Bluegrass musicians you will EVER see! Wish I could go!
Still have never been to the Aladdin. Hopefully it’s still standing after this barn stomper blows through :)
I have never seen a concert at the Aladdin. I haven’t seen Asleep at the Wheel live in a long time. The last time I saw them was at the Oregon Zoo. That was a fantastic concert. I would love to see them again!
Despite years of swing dance lessons as a kid, I’ve yet to see any kind of live swing band! This should be epic!
Somehow, I’ve never managed to see these legendary masters of country swing. Please help me get there! I promise not to fall asleep on the way
Best swing band ever. Haven’t seen them since 1990. Would love to see again. They will turn the Alladin into a dance party.
Texas Twin Fiddles! I love West Coast Swing and would be thrilled to attend this show. Glad PDX Pipline has tickets for this event.
Being asleep at the wheel is a difficult way to get somewhere.
Bob Wills lives! He’s cruisin down Powell, left at Milwaukie. Bob, Bob, don’t fall ‘ Asleep at the Wheel ‘
I want to go.
Yes please
We live right down the street and would love to see this show :D!
