“Theyʼd say, ‘Youʼre the only band that goes out on the road and does this old, cool music.ʼ Thatʼs when I knew it was more than just a living—that I was blessed with caretaking a form of music.” —Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel founder and frontman
Austin, Texas-based Asleep at the Wheel is a staple of the American roots music landscape, charting across four consecutive decades. Inspired by Western swing and honky-tonk country, over the years the band has accumulated 10 Grammy Awards and collaborations with the biggest icons of country music including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and the Dixie Chicks. The CU Symphony Orchestra joins Asleep at the Wheel to blend rich orchestral sounds with soulful Americana.

Can I dance at this event?
Macky Auditorium has fixed seats and steeply sloped aisles; there’s no dance floor available. If the music moves you to stand up, clap your hands or move your body, that’s great! Please just be respectful of folks around you and mindful of your safety.
