Fourteen-time GRAMMY Award-winner Ricky Skaggs' career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs' burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn't already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with 'single-handedly saving country music.' His life's path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact.

Asleep at the Wheel at the Borland Center in Midtown, PGA
Friday, March 20th at 5:00 pm & 8:00 pm
For over three decades Asleep at the Wheel has been dedicated to reviving the Western Swing originally pioneered by the late and great Bob Wills. Along the way, they've entertained thousands and won praise and admiration from everyone from Willi Nelson to Bob Dylan, George Strait and Van Morrison. To keep the rhythm alive, the nine-time GRAMMY winning 'Kings of Swing' bring to the stage a hybrid of country, big-band jazz, Cajun fiddling and be-bop and performing such crowd pleasing classics as 'Route 66,' 'Choo Choo Ch'Boogie,' 'Take Me Back to Tulsa,' and 'Bump Bounce Boogie'. Now the boys are hitting the road and are headed to the Borland Center for a show not to be missed!
