ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL HEADLINES MAHAIWE THEATRE SUNDAY NOV 11
11.7.07
Sunday, November 11th at 7pm, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL live in concert at The Mahaiwe, Great Barrington.
Over the last 37 years, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL has boldly defied the fickle lures of the mainstream & thrived by sticking to their cause of keeping Western Swing alive and kicking.
For their efforts, they've earned nine Grammy awards. ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL has entertained thousands and won praise and admiration from Willie Nelson to Bob Dylan, George, Strait to Van Morrison. ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL is not just your typical dance band, they’re an institution: an ever-shifting line-up (over 80 members to date) of like-minded musicians united under guitarist and band founder Ray Benson’s crusade to carry the torch of big band Western Swing music into the 21st Century.
Tickets for ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL’s Mahaiwe performance are $25/$35.
"This is improvisational music, which I think is the whole ball of wax, because that's where the rubber really meets the road -- and it's why we play it," says Benson. "I think it's interesting to listen to updated versions of what people do, hearing how they have evolved. People change, and I love to have the luxury of having a career this long to do it. Part of the impetus was touring with Bob Dylan a couple of years ago. Every night, Dylan would do those songs a little differently, and it made it very exciting to see where they were going to go each night."
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL’s importance in today’s music cannot be understated as they have continued to carry the torch of western swing and pack venues across the globe.
