In 2024, Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats had to cut the tour short after some auto-immune issues kept him from playing the guitar.
Healed up and raring to go, Setzer and his band mates Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker are set for a summer tour around the U.S.
Setzer spoke on the upcoming tour saying, “it’s good to be healthy and strong again. There’s something about the unique sound of The Stray Cats that keeps drawing me in. The Gretsch guitar, the acoustic bass, and the stand-up drums still sound pure and fresh today. Come on out and have some fun with us this summer.”
Bass man Lee Rocker added, “The Stray Cats are back and ready to blast off! It’s an amazing feeling to join up with Brian and Slim, hit the stage and Rock across America. No one can do it like us Cats, …….nobody comes close”.
Slim Jim Phantom concluded, “with The Stray Cats, there’s always some extra magic around the summertime shows. It’s the perfect time for the Cats & Kittens to get dolled up, put the top down & cruise to the greatest Rockabilly show on earth!”
