Negli anni 90, Setzer sentì un richiamo verso lo [[swing]] e la musica da [[big band]]], quando formò [[The Brian Setzer Orchestra]]. La band ha pubblicato 6 album e due DVD live.
 
Negli ultimi 7 anni, Setzer ha ricevuto 3 [[Grammy Awards]] (Best Pop Performance Duo/Group per "Jump Jive An' Wail", originariamente scritta da Louis Prima, e 2 [[award]] per la Best Pop Instrumental Performance per "Sleepwalk" e "Caravan"). Nel Dicembre del 2006ha ricevuto la sua settima nomination al [[Grammy]] per la sua versione di "My Favorite Things," ancora nella categoria Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback for swing music and big band music, when he formed The Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released 6 albums to date and two live DVDs. This group had one hit, "Jump, Jive An' Wail" around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" had been received favorably in mainstream America.
 
Brian Setzer ha anche registrato alcuni album da solista durante la rottura con gli [[Stray Cats]] negli anni 80 assieme ad altri pubblicati negli anni 90. Nel 2001 ha pubblicato un album intitolato ''Ignition'' con la sua band [['68 Comeback Special]]. Il 26 Luglio 2005 ha pubblicato negli Stati Uniti un album [[tributo]] intitolato ''Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records'' . Il suo ultimo lavoro: ''13'', è stato pubblicato nell' Ottobre 2006.
During the past 7 years, Setzer has earned 3 Grammy Awards (Best Pop Performance Duo/Group for "Jump Jive An' Wail", originally by Louis Prima, and 2 Best Pop Instrumental Performance awards for "Sleepwalk" and "Caravan"). In December 2006 he received his 7th Grammy nomination for his version of "My Favorite Things," again in the Best Pop Instrumental Performance category.
 
Brian recentemente si è spostato dalla [[Caliufornia]] del Sud a [[Minneapolis]], [[Minnesota]] con sua moglie Julie (cantante della band "Dustbunnies"), con la quale Setzer si incontrò dopo un [[audizione]] ( dove fu respinta) per entrare a far parte della [[Brian Setzer Orchestra]] come corista nel 2000. Si sono sposati a [[Palm Springs]], [[California]] nell' estate del 2005. Brian continua a svolgere tour negli Stati Uniti e oltreoceano con la [[Brian Setzer Orchestra]].
Brian Setzer also recorded some solo albums during Stray Cats' break in the 1980s along with some in the 1990s. In 2001 he released an album titled Ignition with his band '68 Comeback Special. A tribute album titled Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26, 2005, in the United States. His latest Record, 13, was released in October 2006.
 
==Discografia==
Brian recently moved from Southern California to Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife Julie (nee Reiten, former singer with the Dustbunnies), whom he originally met when she auditioned (and was hired) as a back-up singer for the Brian Setzer Orchestra in 2000. They were married in Palm Springs, California in the summer of 2005. Brian continues to tour in the United States and overseas with his orchestra.
 
===Stray Cats===
Setzer spoofed himself in a 2002 episode of popular animated series The Simpsons. He voiced himself as a "tutor" at a fictional "Rock And Roll Fantasy Camp" attended by Homer Simpson, and delivered the amusing line (after his animated version participated in chasing Homer in a motorized devil's head) "I hope you won't judge the entire Brian Setzer orchestra based on my actions."
