Brian Setzer is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is best known as the frontman of the rockabilly revival band The Stray Cats, as well as his work with the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Setzer was born in Massapequa, New York, on April 10, 1959. His father, Richard Setzer, was a jazz trumpet player and his mother, Louise Setzer, was a homemaker. He has two older sisters, Pamela and Cheryl. Setzer’s interest in music began at an early age, when he received a drum set as a Christmas present from his parents.

He began taking guitar lessons at the age of 12 and soon began playing in local bands. After graduating from high school, Setzer attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He left Berklee after one semester and moved to New York City, where he formed The Stray Cats with guitarist and vocalist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom. The band achieved success in the early 1980s with their blend of rockabilly and punk rock. They had several hits in the UK, including “Stray Cat Strut” and “Rock This Town.

” The band broke up in 1984, but reunited in 1986 and have continued to tour and release new music since then. Setzer has also released several solo albums and toured with his own band, The Brian Setzer Orchestra. He has won three Grammy Awards and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Setzer is married to Julie Reiten and they have two daughters together. ..
