Throughout his career, Setzer has sold millions of records worldwide and collaborated with artists spanning diverse genres. His signature style incorporates a hollow-body Gretsch guitar, upright bass driven rhythms, and a charismatic stage presence. He's influenced countless musicians and remains a vital force in keeping vintage American music alive, consistently touring and recording new material. He was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 2002.
