World Market Center Las Vegas announced that The Brian Setzer Orchestra will rock into town September 14 with a concert exclusively for 2009 September Las Vegas Market attendees. It’s World Market Center Las Vegas’ way of kicking off an action-packed Market week and launching industry participation of the first ever National Home Furnishings Month.
The home furnishings campus will rock the night away during this VIP performance from three-time Grammy winner Brian Setzer. The “King of Cool,” whose storied 30-year career as frontman of the legendary Stray Cats and leader of his high octane 18-piece “Rockin’ Big Band,” has earned international acclaim for platinum hits such as “Rock This Town,’ “Stray Cat Strut,” and “Jump Jive an’ Wail.”
“The energy of The Brian Setzer Orchestra is fine-tuned to kick off the biggest event in home furnishings this year,” said Robert Maricich, president and chief executive officer of World Market Center Las Vegas. “Our inaugural September Las Vegas Market, with its tens of thousands of new product introductions, coupled with the launch of the first industry-wide National Home Furnishings event targeting consumers, is sure to offer a double dose of optimism for Market attendees. The high energy of the Brian Setzer Orchestra will add to our plan of revitalizing and reinvigorating retailers and manufacturers this September.”
The evening’s festivities will start with food, spirits and a barrage of surprises beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the expansive World Market Center Grand Plaza. The Brian Setzer Orchestra will keep the evening in full swing, energizing thousands of guests in this free concert, exclusively for Las Vegas Market attendees.
The September 2009 Las Vegas Market will showcase more than 1,500 exhibitors and product lines on a state-of-the-art 5 million-square-foot campus. Las Vegas Market runs from September 14 through 17, 2009 at World Market Center Las Vegas.
