Three-time Grammy-award-winner BRIAN SETZER today (10/24) has partnered with RollingStone.com to premiere performance video of “Rumble In Brighton,” a Stray Cats’ tune off the band’s debut album, from SETZER’s upcoming concert Blu-ray/CD, ROCKABILLY RIOT: OSAKA ROCKA! – LIVE IN JAPAN , set for release Friday, November 4 via Surfdog Records. Click here to watch.
Earlier this month (10/12), Guitarworld.com premiered “Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder)”—a fervent, guitar-burning Brian Setzer Orchestra song—from the concert Blu-Ray/CD which was filmed February 18 at Namba Hatch in Osaka, Japan and encompasses songs from SETZER‘s acclaimed 2014 studio album Rockabilly Riot! All Original, a sizzling rockabilly album from start to finish featuring SETZER‘s trademark twang and fretboard fire. Watch that video here. Also included are classic hits from his Stray Cats days, Brian Setzer Orchestra tunes and tracks from his solo albums. In front of the wildly enthusiastic audience, BRIAN SETZER and his band–Noah Levy (Drums), Kevin McKendree (Piano and Guitar) and Mark Winchester (Bass)–are firing on all cylinders. You can watch a teaser video clip here and pre-orders are available now. For more information on how to pre-order, visit www.BrianSetzer.com.
“This is the first time we’ve recorded the Rockabilly Riot on film,” says SETZER. “And also, just like in America, the cities differ in Japan. The Osaka fans are noted for generally being a very loyal and energetic audience. As you’ll see from the show, the Osaka fans are die-hard and know every single song and applaud after guitar solos, and even sing along to songs that I typically don’t see in other cities.”
Meanwhile, SETZER and his 19-piece THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA will visit 32 cities beginning Saturday, November 12 in Appleton and make stops in Nashville, Los Angeles and San Francisco, among other cities(full itinerary here). Their 13th annual “Christmas Rocks! Tour,“ presented by SiriusXM, will feature music off their latest Christmas album, ROCKIN’ RUDOLPH (available now as a limited edition box set, CD, vinyl or download) plus music off their three previous best-selling holiday albums; and original material from BRIAN SETZER. Tickets are on sale now; visit www.briansetzer.com for more information and to purchase tickets.

briansetzer.com About Brian Setzer:
Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy-award-winner, is a “Musician’s Musician” credited with continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles, while single-handedly resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the ’80’s and swing in the ’90’s). Along the way, he has scored chart-topping hits, sold 13 million records and received the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the Stray Cats, his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, and as a solo artist. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name. Brian appeared in the 1987 film, La Bamba, portraying rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran. In 2002, Brian earned the privilege of being one of the few musicians to be animated in an episode of “The Simpsons.” That same year, Setzer was personally requested to induct Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2014, SETZER received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of musical instruments at the museum including Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpet and John Coltrane’s saxophone.
