Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and three-time Grammy award-winner Brian Setzer is credited for taking two forgotten genres, rockabilly and swing, adding his own blend of gunpowder and rockin’ style. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists and is continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles.

Along the way he has sold 13 million records as founder/leader of The Stray Cats, as well as his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, and as a solo artist.

Now, he’s coming to the East End.

Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot plays in concert at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (WHBPAC) on Saturday, August 10 at 8 p.m. Special guest will be The James Hunter Duo. WHBPAC is located at 76 Main Street, Westhampton Beach. Tickets start at $136 at whbpac.org.
