Why see Brian Setzer Orchestra: Christmas Rocks?

NOW IN ITS seventeenth YEAR OF TOURING!

Ex-Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer is one of those geniuses who keeps the Earth properly spinning on its axis through his wildly innovative guitar-playing and off-beat humor. Launched in the 1990s, the Brian Setzer Orchestra is an 18-piece swing and jump blues band made up of Setzer himself (natch) as well as a whole cacophony of talented musical accomplices.

The BSO's Christmas Rocks! tour is an annual extravaganza of the band's top hits as well as classic Christmas songs, plus inspired guitar work by Setzer himself. Expect a wild evening from one of music's great guitarists and vocalists. Now in its 17th anniversary year, the 2019 tour promises to be a huge celebration of the band's success!

A must-see for fans of big bands, jazz, and rockabilly, this Christmas show harks back to the heady days of rock and roll!

ROCKED New Jersey inside out!!!!!!

Brian & his orchestra ROCKED from the moment they took the stage to the final encore ! Couldn't stay in my seat like so many others that were dancing in the ailes all night long! Incredible, Amazing, & the most FUN I've ever had at a concert! Can't wait to see him again, again, & again! Favorite moments were the Stray Cats songs, Rockability Christmas songs, & feeling the non stop electricity in the room! Brian's version of The Nutcracker Suite & the snow falling down on us in the theatre was FABULOUS! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!!! ... Read more

Brian Setzer Christmas Show - It's a Must-See

I just saw the Brian Setzer Christmas show at the Bergen Performing Arts Center and the show was fantastic. Brian and the orchestra played an array of songs, and everyone was a gem. As expected, there was mostly swing and rockabilly, but there were also wonderful tributes to Tom Petty and Glen Campbell. The orchestra was tight, the music was superb, and the showmanship was outstanding. The house was rocking and the crowd showed their enjoyment and appreciation from start to finish, which included a 2-song encore. I've worked in the music industry for 7 years and have seen hundreds of concerts in the NY/NJ area. This performance ranks in the top 5 of all the concerts I've attended. I'm already calling for tickets for the show on the 24th. You really ought to join me!! ... Read more
