Get ready for a night of pure rock ’n’ roll nostalgia! The legendary STRAY CATS are bringing their unmistakable rockabilly sound to Foxwoods Resort Casino on December 6, 2026! 

The Stray Cats are an American rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll trio that helped revive the music and fashion of the 1950s during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Known for their slicked-back hair, leather jackets, upright bass, electric guitars and energetic performances, they became one of the most recognizable rockabilly bands of their generation.

The band formed in 1979 in Massapequa, Long Island, New York.

They were young musicians fascinated by the music of the 1950s, particularly Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Carl Perkins.

Rather than follow the popular disco and mainstream rock sounds of the time, they wanted to bring back authentic rockabilly.

In 1980, the three musicians moved to England.

Interestingly, they initially struggled to become famous in America, but Britain embraced their music and image.

The British rockabilly revival was growing, and the Stray Cats quickly developed a loyal following.

Their performances were energetic, loud and exciting. 

Their breakthrough came with songs including:

• Rock This Town

• Stray Cat Strut

• Runaway Boys

• (She’s) Sexy + 17

• I Won’t Stand in Your Way

Their 1981 album Stray Cats and subsequent album Gonna Ball helped establish their reputation.

In 1982, their American success grew dramatically with the release of Built for Speed, which included several of their best-known songs.
