In the spirit of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Asleep at the Wheel has been bringing the swing to country dance halls for 40 years. Founded by Ray Benson in 1970, the Wheel is a much-celebrated revue-style band famous for its dance floor-packing synthesis of hot jazz, blues, country-boogie and swing. Committed to preserving and celebrating the Western swing of old, the nine-time Grammy-winning outfit is a toe-tapping reminder that country dance music is alive and well. As the band members are fond of saying, "Western swing ain't dead, it's Asleep at the Wheel." - Cat Johnson sanjose.com
