Western swing ain’t dead…it’s Asleep at the Wheel! With 9 Grammy Awards and 30 some-aught years of hard-fought Texas-swinging fun, it comes as no surprise that the Wheel is one of the West’s most successful musical acts. The seven-member band under founder Ray Benson brings their infectious energy to great hits such as “Choo Choo ChBoogie,” “Hot Rod Lincoln” and fan-favorite “Get Your Kicks on Route 66.” These fast-fingered dynamos have shared stages with some of the world's greatest stars, including Dwight Yoakum, Bob Dylan, the Dixie Chicks, Emmylou Harris and more. Just recently, the Wheel completed a nationwide tour backing legends Willie Nelson, Ray Price and Merle Haggard. Asleep at the Wheel’s performances at the Webb Center are a part of Wickenburg’s 60th annual Gold Rush Days festival.
