FOX NFL SUNDAY Welcomes The Brian Setzer Orchestra
Sunday, Dec. 23rd
Setzer’s 18-Piece Orchestra Performs LIVE

New York, NY – This Holiday season, FOX NFL SUNDAY helps viewers get in the Christmas spirit with a very special guest as America’s No. 1 pregame show welcomes 3-time Grammy award-winner Brian Setzer and his 18-piece Orchestra to Los Angeles, CA. In this exclusive presentation, The Brian Setzer Orchestra kicks-off the day’s football action with Christmas themed music live Sunday, Dec. 23rd (12:00 PM ET) during FOX NFL SUNDAY.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra treats viewers to “Boogie Woogie Christmas” and “Jingle Bells” and performs in front of a live audience on a Christmas themed and tastefully decorated old New York street on FOX televisions “FOX Lot.” Setzer found tremendous success in redefining Christmas music for a generation desperately desiring something new and exciting around the holidays. The result was three best-selling holiday albums (Boogie Woogie Christmas, Dig That Crazy Christmas, Christmas Rocks!: The Best Of Collection) and an annual Christmas tour that has certainly become the most exciting annual rockin' Christmas event on the planet. Critics, too, were dazzled by this unprecedented fusion of big-band swing and rock swagger: After staggering home from a BSO show in December 2003, a journalist declared, “The show was more than an extravaganza. It was a party – in every sense of the word” and the Los Angeles Times calls it a show "whose sheer joy is irresistible!”

As one of the greatest modern day Christmas music composers, The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a rockin' big band formed in 1990 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. Setzer is known as a "Musician's Musician" and credited with consistently taking chances through innovative and daring musical styles, while single-handedly resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the ‘80's and swing in the '90's). Along the way he has scored chart-topping hits throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the aforementioned Stray Cats, his 18-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, and as a solo artist. Setzer is one of the world’s most dynamic and respected guitarists and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name to prove it.
