HokieSeas's Journal: Finally got to see him....

Last night in Newport News, Virginia, I finally was able to see one of my favorite musicians, Brian Setzer. The Brian Setzer Orchestra is in the midst of their 5th Annual Christmas Extravaganza tour, but it was was great to hear them play some of the BSO songs and even some of Brian's older Stray Cats songs in the set along with the Christmas songs found on his swing and rockabilly themed Christmas albums. The rockabilly break in the middle of the show for a few songs with just him, the drummer, and bass player like the original Stray Cats was really good to.

Nothing else really to share. Just happy to finally see him in concert. :)

What whas the venue? I hope it wasn't a hockey arena or something. Music like Setzer Orchestra requires a dance floor.

Ferguson Center for the Performing Arts at Christopher Newport University. [cnu.edu] Specifically the concert hall [cnu.edu]. They had left the pit and the front of the center row of seats open and there were people down there dancing all night. Myself, I was up in the dress circle, with only one more row behind me.
