The iconic country group Asleep at the Wheel will perform live at the Cactus Theater on May 5th at 7:30 p.m.
This legendary group, which formed nearly 50 years ago, has a great following and has released over 20 albums with more than 20 singles on the Billboard Country charts since then...
I had the privilege to sit down and talk with Asleep At The Wheel leader,Ray Benson, Thursday September 1, before their show at the Cactus Theater. I grew up with the music of Asleep at the Wheel and foamed at the mouth when I was granted the honor of doing the interview with the Texas legend. Ray talked everything from Western Swing to Austin City Limits to the state of country music today.
On the "retro rack" today is the ultimate Texas swing band. Asleep At The Wheel, after drifting around the country from Washington D.C. to San Francisco, finally landed in the state where Bob Wills is still the king.
