The Center for the Arts
Genre: Americana, Country Asleep at the Wheel is a Grammy-winning band that has defined Western swing for over 50 years. Led by founding member Ray Benson, the group blends country, jazz, blues, and big band influences into a sound that is both timeless and irresistibly fun. With multiple Grammy Awards and collaborations with legends like Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel has carried the torch for Western swing across generations—delivering performances that are as musically rich as they are joyfully danceable. Their live shows are a celebration of American roots music—full of energy, virtuosity, and that signature swing that keeps audiences coming back decade after decade.
Center for the Arts volunteers: Please remember to wear black or black and white clothes with closed-toe shoes. Please leave time to find street parking as our parking lot is for patrons only. If you're a new volunteer, please come 15 minutes early and ask for the House Manager so we can give you a quick orientation to your duties for the event. When you arrive at the Center (314 W. Main Street, Grass Valley) enter through the front lobby doors and check in at the volunteer table in the gallery.
