Brian Setzer (born April 10, 1959 in New York) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter.

In the 1980s, Setzer fronted the popular rockabilly band, Stray Cats.

In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback of sorts for swing music and big band music, when he formed Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released 5 albums to date and one live DVD. This group had one hit, Jump, Jive, and Wail around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies Zoot Suit Riot had been received favorably in mainstream America.
