Brian Setzer (born April 10, 1959 in Massapequa, Long Island, New York) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter.
In the 1980s, Setzer fronted the popular rockabilly band, Stray Cats. Stray Cats caught America's attention with the 1982 album Built for Speed, which included the two Top Ten hits, "Rock This Town" (#9) and "Stray Cat Strut" (#3), as well as with the follow-up 1983 album Rant 'N Rave, which included the two successful singles "(She's) Sexy + 17" (#5), and "I Won't Stand In Your Way" (#35).
In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback for swing and big band music, when he formed The Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released six albums to date and two live DVDs. This group had one hit, Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive an' Wail", a song initially recorded for the 1957 album The Wildest!. This had been around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" had been received favorably in mainstream America in the 1990s.
Brian Setzer was awarded the Orville H....
