Postmodern Jukebox
Modern pop hits get the big band treatment
Why see Postmodern Jukebox?
Taking On The '20s!
A pet project of jazz pianist Scott Bradlee, Postmodern Jukebox gained a loyal following through their Youtube channel. The collective cover modern pop tracks (and some old classics as well) in a big band style. Everyone from Miley Cyrus to TLC has got the Postmodern Jukebox treatment. Now, for 2020 they're celebrating one hundred years since the 1920's - bringing the era to life through the songs of now!
Postmodern Jukebox's forte is taking a track too easily dismissed by some more 'highbrow' music lovers as disposable music for tweens and giving it a classy, big band twist. Scott Bradlee himself is a self-confessed former pop skeptic, but once users starting requesting covers from him of the latest chart hits, he began to see their innate artistic merit. He hopes that by isolating these songs from any genre or cultural baggage, Postmodern Jukebox will do the same for others.

The art direction and lighting design were also superb. I had a very, very good time and am telling everyone to know to see the Postmodern Jukebox when they are in their neighborhoods. ... Read more

Best voices I’ve ever heard - Toronto, Aug 2
The Spice Girls if they existed during WW2, Celine Dion if she fronted a 50s Doo-wop band, the White Stripes as a classic Jazz ensemble. The concert travelled through time with some of the best vocal talent I’ve ever heard. The Celine closer sung by the host made me tingle, so powerful were the vocals. This group is not to be missed. ... Read more

Great Show
Terrific show . With over 300 musicians and singers that are part of the PMJ family you have no idea who is going to turn up. They were really well represented and I'm looking forward to their next Toronto visit. ... Read more
