Top Hat Entertainment is proud to present 9x Grammy Award winners Asleep at the Wheel at the Top Hat Lounge on August 30.

Asleep at the Wheel has seen miles and miles of Texas. They got their kicks on Route 66. And, in 2010, the band clicked another milestone on the odometer - their 40th anniversary. Now in their 45th year, the band continues to introduce the western swing genre to a new generation on tour.

"It's been an amazing ride. From Paw Paw to San Francisco to Austin, we've seen it all," says Wheel front man Ray Benson. "But, rest assured, there is still so many exciting projects in the works such as our brand new tribute album coming this March, Still The King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys ...The Wheel keeps rolling!"

Since their inception, the band has won nine GRAMMY awards, released more than 20 studio albums and charted more than 20 singles on the Billboard country charts. The release of Texas Gold in 1975 brought the band national recognition, with the single "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read" becoming a top-ten country hit. The band has been awarded "Touring Band of the Year" (CMAs, 1976) and the "Lifetime Achievement in Performance" (Americana Music Awards 2009). In 2010, they earned a GRAMMY nomination in the newly minted Best Americana Album category for their critically acclaimed Willie & The Wheel.

On March 3rd, 2015 the band released their forthcoming tribute album Still The King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys on Bismeaux Records.

Tickets are on sale now for $28 at the Top Hat, Rockin' Rudy's and online. All tickets are general admission standing room only. Must be 18 or older to attend.
