After over forty years in the business Asleep At The Wheel's brand of western-swing, boogie and roots-music is still on the up, having played to bigger audiences and accomplishing more this year than ever before.
The reinvented Wheel includes new vocalist Elizabeth McQueen, who invites comparison with the classic female vocalists of the band's earlier era, and Fiddle-singer Jason Roberts. A second male lead voice to compliment Benson.
Asleep at the wheel have always had great musicians dedicated to fulfilling an unrelenting schedule of live shows to entertain their fans, and have produced over 30 albums.
