Pre-sale tickets will be available for members of Setzer’s fan club starting Tuesday, February 13, at 10 a.m. local time, while a local pre-sale also will be offered beginning Thursday, February 15, at 10 a.m. Visit BrianSetzer.com for more details.
Prior to the tour, Setzer and his group will play a headlining set on May 19 at the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival in Annapolis, Maryland. The band features upright bassist Mark Winchester, piano player Kevin McKendree and drummer Noah Levy, all of whom played on Setzer’s 2014 solo album, Rockabilly Riot!: All Original.
