American singer, songwriter (b. 1959)
Brian Robert Setzer (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He found widespread success in the early 1980s with the 1950s-style rockabilly group Stray Cats , and returned to the music scene in the early 1990s with his swing revival band, the Brian Setzer Orchestra . In 1987, he made a cameo appearance as Eddie Cochran in the film La Bamba
Stray Cats [ edit ]

Setzer was born April 1959 in Massapequa , New York. He started on the euphonium and played in jazz bands when he was in school. He found a way to hear jazz at the Village Vanguard , though as he got older he became more interested in rock, punk, and rockabilly. He was a member of the Bloodless Pharaohs and the Tomcats , which he began with his brother, Gary. The Tomcats became the Stray Cats when double bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom joined and Gary left the band. In 1980, thinking they might have more success in England than in America, they sold their instruments to pay for airplane tickets and flew to London.[1]
After performing in London for a few months, they met Dave Edmunds , a guitarist and record producer who shared their love of rockabilly and 1950s' rock and roll. Edmunds produced their debut album, Stray Cats Arista , 1981), which yielded two hit singles, "Stray Cat Strut " and "Rock This Town ". The second album, Gonna Ball Built for Speed EMI , 1982), produced again by Dave Edmunds, with songs collected from their first two albums. Helped by their music videos on MTV, the Stray Cats became popular in America. Their next album, Rant n' Rave with the Stray Cats (She's) Sexy + 17 ".[1]
The Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, though they occasionally reunited, recorded, and toured. After recording three albums with different producers, they returned to Dave Edmunds for Choo Choo Hot Fish [1]
Solo career/The Brian Setzer Orchestra [ edit ]

After the Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, Setzer began a solo career that included working as a sideman for other acts, such as the Honeydrippers led by Robert Plant .[1] The Knife Feels Like Justice R&B ) and the heartland rock of John Mellencamp . The album was produced by Don Gehman and featured Kenny Aronoff on drums. Both men had worked on albums by Mellencamp.[2] Live Nude Guitars followed in 1988. While this album retained some heartland rock elements, it found Setzer moving in more of a straight-ahead blues rock direction, comparable to George Thorogood 's style; Setzer served as co-producer along with Larson Paine, Chris Thomas and David A. Stewart . He went on tour with Thorogood later that year.[3]
Setzer returned to his love of music from the 1950s, this time the jump blues of Louis Prima . Whereas he had resurrected rockabilly in the 1980s, he resuscitated swing in the 1990s. He assembled the Brian Setzer Orchestra , a seventeen piece big band that got the public's attention with a cover version of Prima's "Jump, Jive an' Wail " from the album The Dirty Boogie Interscope , 1998).[1] Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals , while "Sleep Walk " from the same album won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance .[4]
The album Wolfgang's Big Night Out Symphony No. 5 " and "Für Elise ". Wolfgang earned Setzer his eighth Grammy nomination, this time for Best Classical Crossover Album .
He executive produced the album Ready Steady Go! Surfdog , 2014) by Drake Bell and played guitar on two songs.[5] [6]
On June 25, 2021, Setzer announced a new solo album, his first in 7 years, titled Gotta Have the Rumble .[7]
Personal life [ edit ]
Setzer has been married
three times, most recently in 2005 to Julie Reiten, a former singer with the Dustbunnies, and lives in Minneapolis.[8]
