Brian Setzer

New York-based musician Brian Setzer was one of the heroes of rockabilly in the 1980s and subsequently an essential part of rockabilly's partial rise to a popular 21st century sonic aesthetic. Setzer is also famous for combining the rockabilly sound with the big band jazz sounds of the 1940s, creating a raucous, grandiose sound that took to stages and audiences around the world. Setzer also writes and releases as a solo artist, in addition to his Brian Setzer Orchestra band, and is known for his Christmas renditions.
