BRIAN SETZER
Brian Setzer (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He first found widespread success in the early 1980’s with the 1950’s-style rockabilly revival group Stray Cats, and revitalized his career in the late 1990’s with his Swing revival band, The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

The 1980’s rockabilly revival was sadly short-lived. The Stray Cats had some MTV hits and put out a few albums, but their front man Brian Setzer drifted away and played with Robert Plant’s retro-rock side project the Honeydrippers in 1984 before transforming himself further to help spur a swing revival with the Brian Setzer Orchestra in the mid-1990’s.
