Returning for the second performance at the Center For The Arts and headlining the evening will be Asleep At The Wheel, the nine time Grammy™ winning Kings of Texas Swing!
When it comes to the roots of Americana music, Asleep at the Wheel is a 100% American musical institution. Over the course of the last 38 years, founder Ray Benson and the band have boldly defied the fickle lures of the mainstream -- and thrived -- by sticking to their noble cause of keeping that distinctly American of art forms, western swing, alive and kicking. Along the way, they've been awarded nine Grammys, entertained millions and won praise and admiration from the likes of Willie Nelson to Bob Dylan, George Strait to Van Morrison. Asleep at the Wheel has been called the “post-modern kings of western swing,” and given their storied history, it is a title that few would question.
Sharing the stage for their third time with The Wheel will be Nevada County's own western swing band Cousin Cricket.
To see Cousin Cricket live is a treat in itself as they put on one heck of a great show. The band first formed in 1974 and has played all over Nevada County and up and down the west coast. Performing for over 35 years, Cousin Cricket clearly own the title of being Nevada County's longest running western swing band.
Plus opening the show will be indie artist Claire Small.
In mid-2007 Claire left Nashville and followed her heart to Houston, TX. She couldn’t resist the lure of nearby Austin though, and after a few months hit the road again, trading one music capital for another. Her newest collection of songs tells a passionate tale of loving, leaving, and living in Texas and will be released in 2010 by Austin indie Freedom Records (Jon Dee Graham, Resentments, Elizabeth McQueen of Asleep At The Wheel)
