Lee Rocker Confirms Stray Cats Reunion, Announces Solo Tour
There’s a rockabilly reunion coming next year, as Lee Rocker has confirmed that the Stray Cats are planning their first shows since 2019. Details of the outing are still scarce, but the bass hero says fans can expect the band to strut their stuff in 2024.
“Well, now that the cats out of the bag, pun intended, I have to say it’s going to be a blast to get the Stray Cats back together to Rock This Town! See what I did there?” Rocker says. “I can’t go into specifics since there are still a lot of details to work out, but one thing I can guarantee you is that when Setzer, Rocker and Phantom are on stage together, sparks are going to fly and that Stray Cats magic is undeniable.”
Rocker is gearing up for the reunion by taking his own band out on the road this fall. He’ll be performing hits from the catalog including “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut,” and “(She’s) Sexy + 17″ as well as songs from his latest solo album, Gather Round. Each show will incorporate video screens with rare film footage as Rocker tells stories of the band’s career.
“If you like the Stray Cats, you’ll love this show,” Rocker adds. “I’ll be playing smaller, more intimate spots than the much bigger venues The Stray Cats will be in next year. It’ll be a great chance to get up close and personal in a way that just won’t be possible during next year’s reunion tour. It’s an absolute honor to fly the banner for the group as The Stray Cat Lee Rocker on these shows. Come see us!”
