Brian Setzer (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. Setzer was born in Massapequa, New York. Beginning in January 1980, he fronted the popular rockabilly band, Stray Cats. After performing from New York to Philadelphia, Setzer, Lee Rocker (born Leon Drucker) and Slim Jim Phantom (born James McDonnell) decided in June 1980 to go to London where they believed people would better appreciate their sound and style. To make the money for the plane, Brian, Lee and Slim Jim went to the Sam Ash Music on 48th Street to sell their instruments and gear to the store and rather than negotiating, sold all of it for just enough for three plane tickets. Upon arrival, they decided to call themselves "Stray Cats", a name suggested by Rocker. The Stray Cats drew the attention of producer Dave Edmunds and released a series of successful singles in the UK.
