Savannah Music Festival LIVE 821 – Asleep at the Wheel


It all started when Ray Benson and some of his buddies joined forces in the early 1970s and created a band with one simple goal: to play and help revive American roots music. The band that Benson founded over 40 years ago is called Asleep at the Wheel, and they are still going strong today. In this episode, we listen to the Grammy Award-winning band’s Savannah Music Festival debut, in a three-day run with the Hot Club of Cowtown at the Charles H. Morris Center.
