The multi-million selling band’s trek will include stops in Bend, Los Angeles (two shows in Costa Mesa), San Diego, Denver, New York City and more before wrapping up August 17 in Bridgeport, CT. They’ll be joined for these dates by The Midnight Cowgirls as the support act. The tour dates are below, with more to be announced soon.

Concertgoers can expect to hear the band’s signature unparalleled virtuosity and red-hot rock & roll spirit via their classic tunes alongside their most recent material. Their setlists will include massive hits such as “Stray Cat Strut,” “Rock This Town,” “Runaway Boys,” “(She’s) Sexy + 17,” and more.

BRIAN SETZER : “I’ve always said that we all grew up in the same neighborhood, so there’s an instant feeling between us when we play. It allows us to be confident and spontaneous. Man, that’s priceless.”

LEE ROCKER : “With just a string bass, a guitar and a drum, we have always had less instruments and gear, but more rumble, more twang, more shake, and more bang than anyone else. Now’s the right time to bring it back!”

SLIM JIM PHANTOM : “I’m thrilled to be doing shows in 2024 with Stray Cats in the U.S.A.! Playing drums with Brian and Lee in our rockabilly band is the best possible way to spend a summer!”

BRIAN ’s 2024 tour will come on the heels of his 2023 “ROCKABILLY RIOT” tour which coincided with the release of THE DEVIL ALWAYS COLLECTS . SETZER ’s guitar work on the album is virtuosic and his vocals deliver the clever storylines of catchy songs like “The Devil Always Collects,” “Girl On The Billboard,” and “Rock Boys Rock.” Add in non-stop freight train rhythms, and you have an album—produced by BRIAN SETZER and Julian Raymond and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge —that stands with SETZER ‘s best. Listen to the album HERE .

Here’s some critical feedback on the album:

“Looking for something to spice up your summer road trip playlist? Look no further than the lead single from rockabilly guitar titan Brian Setzer’s forthcoming LP, The Devil Always Collects. It’s pure roadside bar sleaze in the best way – with strutting Chuck Berry-by-way-of-the-gutter riffs, and even a Route 66 namecheck. You’ll want to put the pedal to the metal with this coming through your speakers.” —Jackson Maxwell, GUITARWORLD.COM , 7/28/23 on “Girl On The Billboard”

“While impossible to stylistically separate The Devil Always Collects from Setzer’s previous output (and why would you?), it’s more polished, immediate, and even modern sounding with no compromise to the music. In other words, this is prime, deeply inspired Setzer.” —Thom Jurek, ALLMUSIC.COM , 9/15/2023

“…arguably, one of his best [albums]. You can’t deny his incendiary guitar work, smooth vocals and artful blend of rockabilly, swing and retro cool. And jazzy acrobatic numbers like ‘What’ll it Be Baby Doll’ and Black Leather Jacket”’ are well crafted and seal the deal.” —Eric Harabadian, MUSIC CONNECTION , 10/17/2023

“On his latest release, The Devil Always Collects Setzer sounds like a 21st-century Gene Vincent – Eddie Cochran hybrid with guitar chops speeding down the highway at 100 miles an hour while singing about the two main themes of rockabilly music – girls and good times with a playful sense of defiance and rebellion. His guitar playing sizzles and pops throughout with breathtaking dives and runs that boggle the mind…Brian Setzer is a keeper of the flame of the music that we all know and love and for that, we should all be grateful.” —John Michael Antonio, AMERICANA HIGHWAYS , 9/18/2023

“Rock’n’Roll legend Brian Setzer once again proves he always delivers on his new album, The Devil Always Collects. From Blues to Jazz to Rock’n’Roll, The Devil Always Collects spotlights Setzer’s ability to create highly energetic, highly danceable Rock’n’Roll.” —Brian Rock, THE ALTERNATE ROOT , 9/23/2023

“Although he’s always looked to the past for inspiration, Brian Setzer’s music never seems dated. Playing his hunches has given him the freedom to follow his muse. The Devil Always Collects doesn’t disappoint.” —Eleni P. Austin, COACHELLA VALLEY WEEKLY , 11/9/2023

BRIAN SETZER’s 2024 tour dates are as follows:

DATE CITY VENUE Sat-Feb-24 Lincoln, CA Thunder Valley Casino Resort Sun-Feb-25 Oakland, CA Fox Theater Tue-Feb-27 Los Angeles, CA The Wiltern Wed-Feb-28 Phoenix, AZ Celebrity Theatre Fri-Mar-1 Temecula, CA Pechanga Resort Casino Sat-Mar-2 Las Vegas, NV The Pearl Sun-Mar-3 Tucson, AZ Fox Tucson Theatre Tue-Mar-5 Austin, TX Paramount Theatre Wed-Mar-6 San Antonio, TX Tobin Center for the Performing Arts Thu-Mar-7 Dallas, TX The Majestic Theatre Sat-Mar-9 Salina, KS The Stiefel Theatre Sun-Mar-10 La Vista, NE The Astro Theater

ABOUT BRIAN SETZER:

Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy award-winner BRIAN SETZER has achieved one career milestone after another. He’s sold millions of albums and is a “Musician’s Musician” credited with continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles. Setzer is widely credited for taking two forgotten genres, rockabilly and swing, adding his own blend of gunpowder and rockin’ style, and completely reinventing and single-handedly resurrecting them in the process. Along the way, he has scored chart-topping hits , sold 13 million records and received the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the Stray Cats , his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra , and as a solo artist. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name. SETZER is also, fittingly, in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. On the live front, Setzer has headlined venues and festivals worldwide, including a 1983 headlining slot on the iconic US Festival in California, The Playboy Jazz Festival, a three-night, sold-out headlining run at the Hollywood Bowl with the 98-piece Philharmonic Orchestra, Woodstock ’99, and performing in front of more than 150,000 people as headliner of the Montreal Jazz Festival.  His reach also includes films and TV, where his roles include portraying rockabilly pioneer  Eddie Cochran  in the  1987  film,  La Bamba,   Fox’s “Beverly Hills 90210,” among many others, and he is one of the few musicians to be animated in an episode of  “The Simpsons”  in  2002. That same year, SETZER was personally requested to induct  Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . SETZER had the honor of being invited in 2006 to perform at the White House for the President of the United States. Also in 2006, he was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame with the Stray Cats . In 2014, SETZER received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of iconic treasures at the museum.

Tour Details

Rockabilly master Brian Setzer has changed it up over the years — first with his massive Stray Cats success the 1980s, which led to 13 solo albums over the years and 11 albums from his swing revival band the Brian Setzer Orchestra. In his various Rockabilly Riot band formations, it’s back to a trio on this tour where we caught a great rockin’ set from the band and spoke with FOH engineer Gary Hartung about mixing the tour… Clair Global’s Sound Image provides the console, IEM rack, mics, cabling, etc. “I used P.A. du jour,” Hartung says. “Brian and the band are consummate pros.  He doesn’t soundcheck, nor does the band.  He brings a lot of energy to the show, and he’ll hit the stage a couple minutes before showtime because he’s so fired up and ready to go.”

“I’m using the Yamaha QL-5 console at FOH for Brian’s tour, which I’ve used on other tours as well, such as for Ann Wilson (Heart) for years.  I also use a CL-5 doing both FOH and Monitors on Don Felder (Eagles) tour and I find the Yamaha format is easy to navigate doing both.  It comes down to muscle memory when doing both jobs from one desk.  I like the ability to multitrack record off the Dante network and the Yamaha MyLake8 card gives me 8 channels of Lake EQ without having an external Lake processor.  The console is compact, reliable, sounds great and easy to navigate. I have about 18 inputs.  For this tour it’s a straight-ahead three-piece rockabilly band.  I’ve mixed the Brian Setzer Orchestra for years which is a 19-piece rock and roll big band, so this is very much stripped down.”

Setzer started using JH 13 v.2 IEM’s last fall for the first time and is adjusting nicely, says Hartung.  “We felt it was essential to lower the overall stage volume, so we ditched the wedges and sidefills.  He only gets his vocal and a little bit of the background vocals in his mix, so we decided to try combining both FOH and Monitor positions.  It’s worked great.  Once we dialed in things in the first soundcheck, I didn’t have to do much adjusting during the shows for the tour.  It’s always dicey though being 100 feet away and not being on stage.  You really cross your fingers that nothing goes haywire during the show.  You sort of feel like you’re on an island.”

Thankfully all has been fine, notes Hartung.  “We did put the guitar and drum techs on the Yamaha monitor mix app in case they needed to make any adjustments during the show.  I’m very familiar with the app having used it on other tours and It works great.  Another reason I chose the QL-5 console.”

Hartung says he’s not that big on plugins.  “I say pick a console that sounds good and spend a good amount of time tuning the PA. Then your inputs fall into place.  I also don’t use a lot of compression. I do what I call natural compression.  If an input is too loud, turn it down, too soft, turn it up… simple.  I like subtle fader moves and really tuning in to how a band is playing.”

Clair Global’s Sound Image provides the console, IEM rack, mics, cabling, etc. “I used P.A. du jour, as we like to say.  Brian and the band are consummate pros.  He doesn’t soundcheck, nor does the band.  He brings a lot of energy to the show, and he’ll hit the stage a couple minutes before showtime because he’s so fired up and ready to go. We love that about him.  Many of the crew have been around for a long time (such as Production Manager Michael Richter), and we all welcome any opportunity to do Brian’s tours.  We’re also very close and consider it a family.  We have a lot of fun on both show days and days off.  I think that’s really important!”

Twin cities rocker brian setzer to reunite with stray cats in 2024, including two minnesota dates.

After a lengthy hiatus that found him struggling with tinnitus and sticking to his suburban Twin Cities home, rockabilly stalwart Brian Setzer will return to the road in a big and loud way in 2024 on a reunion tour with his globally renowned '80s band the Stray Cats.

Setzer and original bandmates Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker — childhood friends from Massapequa, N.Y. — will play their first shows together in five years starting in late July on a tour that includes two outdoor dates in Minnesota.

The "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut" hitmakers are set to play Bluestem Center for the Arts Amphitheater in Moorhead on Aug. 8 , followed by a gig near St. Cloud at the Ledge Amphitheater on Aug. 9 . Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at prices not yet announced, with presale options beginning Wednesday.

A Minnesota resident for around two decades now — his wife Julie Reiten Setzer grew up here — Setzer sidelined his usual holiday tour with the Brian Setzer Orchestra in 2019 after being hit with tinnitus following the Stray Cats' 40th anniversary run earlier that year. He took a first step back to touring last year with a new rockabilly trio supporting his solo album, "The Devil Always Collects."

In a statement released with the Stray Cats tour announcement, Setzer said of his old bandmates, "I've always said that we all grew up in the same neighborhood, so there's an instant feeling between us when we play. It allows us to be confident and spontaneous. Man, that's priceless."

Chris Riemenschneider has been covering the Twin Cities music scene since 2001, long enough for Prince to shout him out during "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)." The St. Paul native authored the book "First Avenue: Minnesota's Mainroom" and previously worked as a music critic at the Austin American-Statesman in Texas.
