Asleep at the Wheel to headline the Calaveras County Fair
Angels Camp, CA...The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee is excited to announce "Asleep at the Wheel" in concert at the 2015 Fair. Asleep at the Wheel has seen miles and miles of Texas. They got their kicks on Route 66. In 2010, the band clicked another milestone on the odometer - their 40th anniversary. Now in their 41st year, the band continues to introduce the western swing genre to a new generation on tour and takes audiences on the ride of a lifetime with their play, "A Ride with Bob." "It's been an amazing ride. From Paw Paw to San Francisco to Austin, we've seen it all," says Wheel front man Ray Benson. "But, rest assured, there are still so many exciting projects in the works. The Wheel keeps rolling".
Over their history, Asleep at The Wheel has garnered nine GRAMMY Awards and released more than 25 studio and live albums, and there is no sign of slowing down any time soon. Just last year they earned a Grammy nomination in the newly minted Best Americana Album category for their critically acclaimed Willie & The Wheel, on Bismeaux Records. Billboard magazine said it best "Everything this act has ever released is simply spectacular".
The concert will be on Friday, May 15. The show is included with the price of admission. Tickets will be available at Frogtown.org on February 1. For more information check out the Wheel at asleepatthewheel.com.
