The Wheel has been part of the American roots music landscape for more than 50
years. Although the band got its start on a farm in Paw Paw, West Virginia,
asleep at the wheel became a cornerstone of the Austin, Texas scene upon its
arrival in 1973. Inspired by western swing and honky-tonk country, the band has
accrued 10 Grammy awards. Ray Benson carries the band back onto the road, where
they’ve remained a staple for five decades.

Red Roster 2024 Festival shared : We
are honoured to host the final ever Asleep At The Wheel UK festival show
as part of AATW’s “Happy Trails” Tour. To mark this special occasion and
celebrate our tenth year AATW will be joined by Red Rooster favourites Brennen
Leigh and Joshua Hedley.
ABOUT: Fifty years ago, Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson
wrote in his journal that he wanted to form a band to bring the roots of
American pop music into the present.
It seemed like an ambitious goal for a
19-year-old, yet Benson has done exactly that – traversing the globe as an
ambassador of Western swing music and introducing its irresistible sound to
generation after generation.
Although the lineup has changed countless times
since its inception, Benson’s mission has never wavered.
That merging of past and present is effortlessly woven
throughout two of the band’s new releases. First, their Better Times EP
compiles three new tracks: “All I’m Asking,” a rousing plea for a second
chance; the hopeful title track, about getting back to life as it once was
(namely, before the pandemic); and “Columbus Stockade Blues,” a traditional
tune arranged in the spirit of Willie Nelson and Shirley Collie’s 1960s
version. Then, in the fall, a career retrospective recorded with the new band
-- and a few special guests -- will carry Asleep at the Wheel back onto the
road, where they’ve remained a staple for five decades….Read FULL BIO

Tickets for the Georgia Girl Tour
UK & Europe went on presale and general towards the end of February
One
of Country’s biggest breakout stars in recent years, Megan Moroney first
burst onto the scene with her RIAA 2X PLATINUM hit single ‘Tennessee Orange’ —
an immediate smash showcasing her true-to-life storytelling, unforgettable
vocals, and strong-minded yet fiercely sensitive point of view.
Along with notching her first No.
1 at Country radio and landing on coveted lists like the Los Angeles Times’ “100 best songs of 2023,” ‘Tennessee Orange’
soon found the Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records artist winning Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards and making her debut
appearances on major TV shows like TODAY,
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Good Morning America, and New Year's Eve Live:
Nashville’s Big Bash.
A Georgia
native who got her start singing covers with her dad and brother — and
later began penning her own songs while studying accounting at the
University of Georgia — Moroney made her massively acclaimed full-length debut
with 2023’s LUCKY: a powerhouse body of work that turned up on
best-of-the-year lists from leading outlets like the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and the Associated
Press (who hailed her as a
“Gen Z songwriter with Taylor Swift-level acuity”).
Produced by Kristian Bush and
built on a timeless collision of Country, Folk, and Southern Rock, LUCKY also
revealed the lived-in intimacy and electrifying impact of her songwriting on
tracks like ‘I’m
Not Pretty’ (her current single, praised by Billboardas a “cheeky, defiant clapback”).
As she
continued her meteoric rise, the Nashville-based musician earned nominations by
CMA, ACM, and Billboard Music Awards, in addition to appearing at The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles as part of its
illustrious SPOTLIGHT series inthe midst of her sold-out THE LUCKY TOUR — a fall 2023 run that
brought her magnetic live show to iconic venues across the U.S. Recently
featured on Forbes’ 30 Under 30, MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Class of 2024, and Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces of Country
Music, she kicked off 2024 with her stunning new song ‘No Caller ID’.
With more new music on the way —and over 824 MILLION total global streams to date —
Moroney will join Kenny Chesney on his SUN DOWN 2024 TOUR and take the stage at
Stagecoach Festival in April.

observations.

Co-produced
by King alongside Jared
Conrad, Into The Neon incorporates
a unique blend of the influences from icons and modern masters alike who have
inspired King’s sound; inclusive of the timeless country twang of George Strait
and Keith Whitley, and the blood pumping, Y2K-era rhythms of Dierks Bentley and
Gary Allan.
Having
built his reputation as a road warrior in the USA, King spent much of the last
year playing for international audiences, with an appearance at C2C Festival
(2023) in London; returning later in the year to play sold-out, upgraded
headline shows across the UK & Germany; and earlier this month, his biggest
performances to date on the mainstage at C2C Festival Berlin and Rotterdam,
joining superstar headliners Brad Paisley and Old Dominion. As he told Texas Monthly in February, “I’ve seen everywhere I can see in Texas, and I
love it. But I’m looking at the whole world.”

ABOUT RANDALL KING:
A
West Texas native and self-described “old soul," Warner Music Nashville's
Randall King has never wavered in his honky-tonk allegiance – in fact, he’s
worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading voice for
today’s traditional country. Amassing over 300 Million streams with singles
like “You In A Honky Tonk,” “Hey Cowgirl” and “Mirror,
Mirror,” he’s kept the twang alive in country’s mainstream while also
earning acclaim through deeply personal EPs like 2020’s Leanna,
and his 2022 major label album debut, Shot
Glass – which landed on
both Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s
All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far).
Schooled on icons like Keith
Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson, but inspired by modern
masters like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan, King first built an independent,
grass-roots following on the strength of his electrifying live shows – each one
a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and breathtaking
emotion – never asking for permission to explore his creative vision.
He has since gone on to headline
all across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, where he continues to play nearly 150
shows a year and hone his craft where it matters most.
Named a Country Artist to Watch
by everyone from Pandora and Country
Now to Music Mayhem Magazine, his sophomore major label album Into the Neon,
available now, takes that craft to the next level, as King’s neo-traditional
roots meet the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era
country and beyond.
Co-produced by King and Jared
Conrad, and featuring 18 tracks, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless
swagger, further blurring the line between yesteryear and today – even as King
renews his forever-country vows.

The country's quartet were out early this year when
they announced plans for the 2024 tour. The Nightfall Tour started with a
Keynote: A Show at Historic Carnegie Hall in New York on January 16. Little Big
Town will be the first dominating country to play on the pitch after Alan
Jackson in 2013, the press release said. The Big City Night Tour takes place from
January 16 to May 2, ending in Denver, Colorado. Meanwhile, the group will
perform in more than 30 major theaters in the United States. Caitlin Smith
opens all shows.
Little Big Town will also join Country music icon
George Strait and eight-time GRAMMY winner Chris Stapleton with nine tour datesin
2024!
On Sept 16, 2022 theACM, CMA
and GRAMMY Award-winning band Little Big Town – consisting of
Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook –
released their new, 10th studio album Mr. Sun (Capitol Records Nashville/ UMG Recordings) listen here(preferred
platform).
The album debuted and peaked at No.56 on the Billboard
200 and No.10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums (14,000
equivalent album units).
The band also unveiled the music video
for “Three Whiskeys and the Truth,” which was directed by
Running Bear Film’s Stephen & Alexa Kinigopoulos – watch here. “Three Whiskeys and the Truth” was written by
Fairchild and Schlapman alongside their beloved Love Junkies (Hillary Lindsey,
Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose), ruminating on the feelings that hide in the dark
but that always come to the surface somehow..
Praise for Mr. Sun included The
New York Timeshailing it “a sweeping record” and American
Songwriter observed that “inside the record, notes reminiscent of
the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, and the Eagles ring out, but they’re all tailored
to Little Big Town’s country expertise.” Rolling Stone called
it “smooth and sweet, with just the right undercurrent of sadness,” with
production that feels “spacious and golden.”
Billboard singled out the album’s “swelling” closing track “Friends
of Mine,” as a “benediction to finding the collective strength to
persevere through tough times,” while Rolling Stone further
tied it to the full record: “Like much of Mr. Sun, it feels like a
warm embrace from a loved one.”
The album’s lead single “Hell Yeah” (released on April 11, 2022)
was co-written by Sweet, Westbrook, Corey Crowder and Tyler Hubbard.
The genesis of Mr. Sun was
unlike any of their previous albums. Due to the pandemic, the band found
themselves off the road and apart for the first time ever throughout their
20-year journey. The resilience and creativity born from those months unearthed
a deep appreciation for both one another, and the privilege of making music –
ultimately inspiring the self-produced Mr. Sun, which packs
both the sparkle of storytelling and the heat of truth-telling in a way
only Little Big Town can.
“Mr. Sun is intentionally
an emotional record that holds hands well with our last album Nightfall,”
Karen Fairchild shared. “Mr. Sun is focused on better days
ahead, the value of friendships and family; it touches on heartbreak and
letting go, but it’s full of sunshine and joy.”

five top 10s since 2010. (Lady Antebellum had a total of six top 10s,

The Breaker was led by the Taylor Swift-written single “Better
Man,” which spent two weeks at No.1 on the Hot Country Songs chart (the

charting album ever with best sales week (112,758 copies sold, then 50,321
copies sold in week 2 down 55%). It also netted the group their second No.1 on
the Country Albums chart and more than doubled the first week sales of previous

sold). By Dec 20, 2012 “Tornado” had sold 502,858 copies scanning GOLD at

set (No. 40, 2002), followed by The Road to Here (No. 12, 2006) and A
Place to Land (No. 10, 2007), the first of the band’s five Top Country
Albums top 10s.
