Setzer’s Lucky 13
The Brian Setzer Orchestra is looking to spice up the holiday season with its fifth annual Christmas Extravaganza Tour, launching November 20 in Milwaukee, Wis.
The trek will run through December 22, with shows planned at theatres and casinos across the U.S. including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and Detroit’s State Theatre. Setzer and his band will wrap up with a week of California shows, including a two-night tour finale at Redwood City’s Fox Theatre.
Setzer will perform songs from throughout his career, including a healthy sampling of his latest album, 13.
Setzer’s label, Surfdog Records, is re-releasing a pair of his Christmas albums just in time for the tour – 2002’s Boogie Woogie Christmas and last year’s Dig That Crazy Christmas – as well as the live “Christmas Extravaganza” DVD, shot in Los Angeles during the 2004 tour.
