Three-time Grammy Award-winner Brian Setzer fronts the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

His November concert will include Setzer's legendary guitar magic on hits such as "Rock This Town," "(She's) Sexy +17," "Stray Cat Strut," and more, as well as his re-imagined and acclaimed Holiday classics.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra released "Rockin' Rudolph," their first studio Christmas album in 10 years, on Oct. 16. The 12-track "Rockin' Rudolph" includes highlights such as "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "Yabba-Dabba Yuletide" and "Rockabilly Rudolph," among other notable Christmas classic tunes, with Setzer's trademark guitar work and vocal stylings matched with the orchestra's rocking 18-piece big-band horn arrangements.
