Asleep At The Wheel Announce Special Online Christmas Concert December 19th

Asleep At The Wheel is inviting fans to enjoy a ‘Merry Texas Christmas, Y’all!’ with their 90-minute live stream concert on December 19. Bandleader Ray Benson and the band will perform at the ‘Texas North Pole,’ playing fan favorites as well as choice cuts from their three previously-released Christmas albums.

The livestream will begin at 7 p.m. CT on December 19, and post-show, the special will be on-demand streaming for a limited time. One ticket will allow streaming on one device. In addition to tickets, exclusive holiday bundles including VIP Zoom meet and greets with Benson and Katie Shore, Asleep at the Wheel Christmas cards, autographed CDs, tote bags, and more are available.

Earlier this Fall, the band teamed up with Austin City Limits and PBS for ACL Presents: 50 Years of Asleep at the Wheel, a special retrospective of the band’s appearances on the beloved program. From performing on the series’ very first episode to modern-day collaborations with legends like Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett (in total, the band has appeared on eleven episodes), Asleep at the Wheel have woven a 50-year thread through Texas and American music history, and Austin City Limits played quite a part in it.
