Sunday - Brian
Setzer's Rockabilly Riot! by
The Freeman Stage, This performance will offer limited Premium Assigned
Seating tickets and General Admission tickets. Tickets are required for all patrons,
including infants and toddlers. With
support from The James Hunter Duo!
Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and three-time
Grammy-award-winner Brian Setzer 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. Brian appeared in the 1987 film, La Bamba,
portraying rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran.
In 2002, he
earned the privilege of being one of the few musicians to be animated in an
episode of “The Simpsons.” That same
year, Brian was personally requested to induct Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He had the
honor of being invited in 2006 to perform at the White House for the President
of the United States. In 2014, Brian
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.

Funny Poop
·
Three guys go to a ski lodge, and there aren't
enough rooms, so they have to share a bed. In the middle of the night, the guy on the
right wakes up and says, "I had this wild, vivid dream of getting a hand
job!" The guy on the left wakes up,
and unbelievably, he's had the same dream, too. Then the guy in the middle wakes up and says,
"That's funny, I dreamed I was skiing!"
Etcetera

Got Poop? Let me know!
I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me
by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it. Your
input is appreciated.
