Asleep At the Wheel

Asleep at the Wheel have been going for years and years, since the 70s to be exact. They are based in Austin, Texas and have won a staggering nine Grammy Awards. This musical bunch have had chart success over the years with their success being a force to be reckoned with and another thing – they can do it live ever so well.

Their sound is essentially country with all the right instrumentation to make this world complete with the glossy finish of a pedal steel, a violin played as a fiddle and a Hammond organ sound that provides such a good sheen over their sound. They are all about telling stories in their songs introducing characters and telling stories through their songs and of course their patter between songs is so endearing to listen to. “The Letter” is such a fantastic song to hear live, with the contrapuntal melodies filling the room and hearing this chorus sing it right back to this band who give their performance so much energy and effort.

Wow! 48 years and still the best show ever! Thanks for a great show last night in Eureka Springs. We had a wonderful evening....look forward to seeing them again. If you have never seen them live you don't know what your missing.

Great as usual. Especially enjoyable since the show was in small nightclub setting. Many of my fellow audience members were up and dancing. Ray and all band members came out and signed autographs after the show.

Asleep at the Wheel is phenomenal. The music never gets old, but they find a way to keep it sounding fresh and on fire. We loved it, as did everyone we talked to. Can't wait to see them again sometime.

Amazing musicians-western swing, boogie woogie, jazz standards, and country & western. Asleep at the Wheel put on a great show last night. Ray Benson's stories only added to the experience. 5 stars!

One word days it all: FREAKING AWESOME. OK, that's two words, but you get the point. Of course, with the drive from Florida. Can't wait to see again. Please come to Florida.

Great show- Perfect venue- I loved that it was a small place they were relaxed and put on a great show. They did a meet and greet after the show and were very nice!
