Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ), the celebrated “Pop music in a Time Machine” concert phenomenon, is set to embark on a thrilling new World Tour, commemorating a decade of touring success and their 1,000th show in 2024.
In this forthcoming musical odyssey, attendees can anticipate an enchanting exploration of the PMJ Universe. Here, contemporary chart-toppers and iconic pop anthems undergo a metamorphosis, reincarnated in classic genres like 1920s jazz, Swing, Doo-wop, and Motown. This mesmerizing spectacle unfolds through a cast comprising some of the globe’s premier singers, dancers, and instrumentalists — think “The Great Gatsby” colliding with “Sinatra at the Sands” and a sprinkle of “Back! …To The Future.”
The genesis of this time-defying musical collective traces back to pianist Scott Bradlee, who birthed the idea in a basement apartment in Queens, NY. What ensued was a remarkable online triumph, a “viral” success story that swiftly translated into sold-out shows across North America and Europe during the lively Summer of 2014.
Over the years, PMJ not only earned acclaim from industry publications but also garnered praise from renowned artists worldwide. Often hailed as the “Saturday Night Live of Singers,” PMJ introduced audiences to numerous extraordinary musical talents, many of whom were previously overlooked by the modern record industry, transforming them into genuine stars.
Approaching its 10th anniversary and boasting over two billion views on their YouTube channel, attending a Postmodern Jukebox show has become an annual rite for hundreds of thousands of devoted fans globally. These fans, adorned in vintage finery, eagerly immerse themselves in the one-of-a-kind experience that PMJ delivers.
Scott Bradlee, the visionary architect of PMJ, reflects on the unexpected endurance of the project, stating, “By the end of 2023, PMJ will have performed 937 shows in 44 countries across 5 continents. There’s no secret formula, other than an obsession for classic sounds and a commitment to showcasing phenomenal talent.” Bradlee expresses gratitude for the steadfast support from the audience, acknowledging its role in providing inspiration and propelling them to new artistic heights.
With the 10th-anniversary tour on the horizon, PMJ invites fans to join them in this global celebration.
