    Cypress Creek FACE presents Asleep at the Wheel, 8 p.m., Saturday, January 22, 2011.

    Since their inception in 1970, Asleep at the Wheel, the famed western- swing, boogie, and roots-music outfit, has won nine Grammy Awards, released more than 20 studio albums and have charted more than 20 singles on Billboard’s country charts.

    For nearly four decades, leader Ray Benson and his ultra-talented ensemble have distinguished themselves as not only the greatest western swing band on earth since the heyday of Wills and the Texas Playboys, but also as an honest-to-goodness institution of Texas music. Way back in the ’70s, AATW had the honor of opening the first ever season of TV’s Austin City Limits, and it’s also the only act to have played every Austin City Limits Music Festival to date.

    The band’s name may be a joke (Benson is as known for his sense of humor as for his mellifluous voice and imposing stature), but there’s no fooling around when it comes to the serious musicianship on display as the Wheel careens all over the highways and byways of American music.
