Asleep at the Wheel at the Uptown

JaM Cellars presents Asleep At The Wheel on Sunday, March 23, at 8 p.m. Maybe I’ll see you there. For more than 50 years, Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson has been traversing the globe as an ambassador of Western swing music. More than 100 musicians have passed through the Wheel, but Benson remains the front man and the keeper of the vision, racking up more than 30 albums, 10 Grammy awards and millions of 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 artists, including Merle Haggard, George Strait, Old Crow Medicine Show and Lyle Lovett. On their latest release, Half A Hundred Years, three original members returned after 40 years, along with Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, George Strait, Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson.
