Doors 7/Show 8-10:30; All Ages. **This will be a fully seated show** FOUNDED IN 1970, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL HAS BEEN PART OF THE AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC LANDSCAPE FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. ALTHOUGH THE BAND GOT ITS START ON A FARM IN PAW PAW, WEST VIRGINIA, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL BECAME A CORNERSTONE OF THE AUSTIN, TEXAS SCENE UPON ITS ARRIVAL IN 1973. INSPIRED BY WESTERN SWING AND HONKY-TONK COUNTRY, THE BAND HAS ACCRUED 10 GRAMMY AWARDS. IN THE FALL, A CAREER RETROSPECTIVE RECORDED WITH THE CURRENT LINEUP -- AND A FEW SPECIAL GUESTS -- WILL CARRY THE BAND BACK ONTO THE ROAD, WHERE THEY’VE REMAINED A STAPLE FOR FIVE DECADES.
