LIVE at San Juan Community Theatre! Asleep at the Wheel returns for one night only

Submitted by the San Juan Community Theatre.

Saturday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m. – After two sold-out performances at San Juan Community Theatre in 2010, we are thrilled to welcome the 10x Grammy winners back to our stage!

For over fifty years, Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson has been traversing the globe as an ambassador of Western swing music and introducing its irresistible sound to generation after generation — in the process racking up more than 30 albums, 10 Grammy awards and literally millions of miles on the road.

Asleep at the Wheel has collaborated on records with genre-spanning friends, including Willie Nelson on 2009’s Grammy-Nominated “Willie and the Wheel” and other critically acclaimed artists, including Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard, George Strait, the Avett Brothers, Amos Lee and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Asleep at the Wheel represents an important cornerstone of American roots music, even though some of its members and audiences represent a new generation. That far-reaching appeal remains a testament to Benson’s initial vision.

Tickets are $78 for orchestra seating, and $50 for balcony. Purchase tickets online at www.sjctheatre.org, or at our box office, open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. (or by calling 360-378-3210).
