Asleep At The Wheel started performing at Cafeteria, a local club. The lead singer used to listen to his sister's record constantly as a child. The lead singer first found his love of music by listening to his brother's collection of records. The members of Asleep At The Wheel met in 1983. The band used to sell their records out of their truck at local shows.

Asleep At The Wheel’s single climbed the charts quickly, giving them national exposure. All the members quit their other jobs to focus on their album.

Asleep At The Wheel realized that they were truly working musicians in 1978, when Mandy Ullmann started the group’s first fan club. The club started out small, with just a handful of members around Albany. After the band’s first national tour the club grew dramatically, reaching a membership in the thousands.

The latest album from Asleep At The Wheel took a year to put together. The group is in the beginning of the promotional tour for their newest record. Asleep At The Wheel are expecting to bring in a whole new audience with this tour and the new album.
