Brian Setzer mapping Christmas tour
It’s Christmas in July - Brian Setzer is planning his holiday extravaganza, which includes 25 stops throughout the country, kicking off November 20th in Detroit, MI.
The swing-pop star will travel the Midwest and down the East Coast late in November and early December, with plans to travel westward via the South, finishing things up with a number of West Coast stops - including five in California and a final stop at the Snoqualmie Casino in Washington on December 29th.
Setzer, who gained mainstream fame with his hit single “Jump Jive and Wail,” turned his attention to holiday tunes after 2002’s Boogie Woogie Christmas and 2005’s Dig that Crazy Christmas. In 2008, he released The Ultimate Christmas Collection.
Setzer and his 18-piece orchestra’s last studio album was Wolfgang’s Big Night Out, which highlights the work of legendary composers such as Mozart, Beethover, Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn - with his twist, of course. The album garnered a Grammy Award nomination for Best Classical Crossover Album.
