Asleep at the Wheel, the Grammy-awarding winning band revered for sustaining Texas-based Western Swing, once again returns to Durango by popular demand. Since the early ‘70s, Asleep at the Wheel has been the most important force in Western swing – a mix of big band, country and dance music popularized in the 1930s and 1940s by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Now included in the tour repertoire is music from the Wheel’s critically-acclaimed musical play, A Ride With Bob, which starred the band’s larger-than-life founder and lead vocalist Ray Benson encountering the ghost of Bob Wills on a tour bus. The dance floor will be open.
