Description
Witness the legendary return of Asleep at the Wheel at the Clay Cooper Theater in Branson.
For over fifty years, Ray Benson has carried the torch of Western swing music across the globe, sharing its irresistible sound with generation after generation. As the front man and visionary, Benson has steered the Wheel through more than 30 albums, 10 Grammy awards, and countless miles on the road.
Asleep at the Wheel has collaborated on records with genre-spanning friends, including Willie Nelson on 2009’s Grammy-nominated Willie and the Wheel and other critically acclaimed artists, including Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard, George Strait, the Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Old Crow Medicine Show and Lyle Lovett on Still the King, their 2015 critically-acclaimed and Grammy-winning tribute to Bob Wills. On their latest release, Half A Hundred Years, Asleep At The Wheel continued their contributions to the American music landscape when three original members of Asleep at the Wheel—Chris O’Connell, Leroy Preston, and Lucky Oceans—returned after 40 years to lend their voices and musicianship to a number of tracks on the album along with Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, George Strait, Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson.
