NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today that iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and three-time
Grammy-Award winner Brian Setzer and
The Brian Setzer Orchestra will perform an exclusive

The private performance will feature the 19-piece band
performing his unique take on Holiday classics, including songs
from their first studio Christmas album in 10 years, Rockin'
Rudolph, (Surfdog Records) plus Setzer's well-known hits from
the Stray Cats and his solo career.
The "Christmas Rocks" concert, which will take place at The Hard
Rock Cafe in Times Square, will air on Saturday, December 5 at 10:00 pm ET on Outlaw Country, channel 60, and

Outlaw Country, created and executive produced by E Street Band
member "Little Steven" Van Zandt,
plays legendary country rebels like Johnny
Cash, Waylon Jennings,
Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, as well as contemporary
standard-bearers like Steve Earle,
Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Chris
Stapleton, Jason Isbell and
Sturgill Simpson.
Brian Setzer, the iconic
guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time
Grammy-award-winner, is credited with continually taking chances
with innovative and daring musical styles, while single-handedly
resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the '80's
and swing in the '90's). 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 18-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, Brian earned the privilege of being one of
the few musicians to be animated in an episode of "The Simpsons,"
alongside Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Tom
Petty. That same year, Setzer was personally requested to
induct Chet Atkins into the
17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In
2014, he received the distinct honor of being asked by
the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. to donate a
replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 "Stray Cat" guitar,
joining an elite collection of musical instruments at the museum
including Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet and John Coltrane's saxophone.
