Founded in 1970, Asleep at the Wheel has been part of the American roots music landscape for “Half A Hundred Years”. Now celebrating the band's 55th anniversary with the 'Happy Trails' tour and with the announcement that frontman Ray Benson plans to cease touring by 2026, don't miss the chance to see the band live in the UK one last time in this beautifully intimate setting.
Although the band got its start on a farm in Paw Paw, West Virginia, Asleep at the Wheel became pioneers of the Austin, Texas scene upon its arrival in 1973. Inspired by Western Swing and Honky-Tonk Country, the band has accrued no less than 10 Grammy awards.
Fifty years in, Asleep at the Wheel represents an important cornerstone of American roots music, even though some of its members and audiences represent a new generation. That far-reaching appeal remains a testament to the group’s initial vision and is as strong as ever.
