The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Widely recognized as the father of modern day rockabilly, Brian Setzer continues to nurture the tradition with The Brian Setzer Orchestra, a 17-piece ensemble which elevates the stripped down sound of his renowned band The Stray Cats to exponential sonic heights. Jumping and jiving since the mid 90's, the ambitious and enduring project smashed into the charts in 1998 with a blistering cover of Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive, and Wail" and shows no sign of slowing down. He also was the lead guitarist in Robert Plant's mid-80s project band The Honeydrippers, as well as portraying Eddie Cochran in the 1987 biopic "La Bamba," chronicling the life of rock and roll pioneer Ritchie Valens.
