Ever since I was in middle school, I knew I was something of an old soul. While my friends listened to ’90s pop hits, I listened to old jazz and Motown records and spent hours upon hours attempting to figure out their inner workings on the piano. Listening to these records truly transported me I appreciated the creativity, skill, and above all natural talent that went into their creation. Years later, as a musician living in New York City, I formed Postmodern Jukebox as way to bring the classic sounds I loved back into the mainstream, and to build a platform to celebrate real, unadulterated, deserving talent.

Today, it’s been five years since Postmodern Jukebox performed its first show, and our family has grown to include nearly fifty singers and another fifty instrumentalists, all of whom now have the opportunity to perform the classic genres they love for the audiences who appreciate them. The vocalists sing every note live, without any tuning help. The musicians make every sound you hear on stage and in my living room with the instruments you see them playing. That doesn’t matter to everyone, but it matters to us and I believe it matters to our fans. We do it the old fashioned way and we love every second of it.

Thanks to our millions of fans around the world, Postmodern Jukebox has become the rotating collective of musical outcasts that have somehow found a home and there are still many incredible, undiscovered talents out there that I really am excited to share with you. And its my promise to continue to share with you, the best natural performers from around the world, and give them a platform they deserve in this wonderful, musical universe we call Postmodern Jukebox.https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/scott-bradlees-postmodern-jukebox

Released just prior to the group's 2015 North American tour, "Top Hat On Fleek" eschews current chart toppers for songs that will be especially nostalgic to Millenials.  "Thong Song" and Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Going Down" receive the brassy, '40s swing treatment, while "Halo," "Hey Ya!," and "Say My Name" connect '90s R&B to its Motown ancestry.  Joey Cook, fresh from her appearance on American Idol that name checked Postmodern Jukebox live on prime time television,contributes her unique style and multi-instrumental abilities to the mix, and Sara Niemietz establishes herself as one of PMJ's most exciting new vocalists with her vocal on "Hey Ya!" Must-Have Tracks: LaVance Colley's vocal on "Halo" is a masterpiece; the psychedelic '60s Austin Powers take on "Give It Away" shows more brilliance from Aubrey Logan; the classic folk song remake of "Hey There Delilah" evokes Bradlee's work on Bioshock Infinite. https://www.postmodernjukeboxshop.com/product/5QDDMJ014/top-hat-on-fleek-download

How did Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" become a '50s-style doo wop number? Since when was Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" about an upright bass fiddle? At what point did Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" evolve into a '20s hot jazz tune? And whose idea was it to rework Lorde's "Royals" into a polished ballad sung by a sad clown? It's all part of the topsy-turvy world of Postmodern Jukebox, an ongoing musical project spearheaded by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee, who takes contemporary pop and rock tunes and fashions new arrangements for them that cast them in an unpredictable variety of musical styles from the past. Born on Long Island, Bradlee relocated to New York City after studying jazz at the University of Hartford. While playing gigs at restaurants and nightclubs in New York City, Bradlee began experimenting with ragtime and jazz arrangements of pop tunes from the '80s, and he recorded several self-released digital albums of his offbeat versions of well-known melodies, as well as performances that interpolated seemingly dissimilar songs of different eras. Bradlee upped the ante on these experiments in 2012 with an album called A Motown Tribute to Nickelback, but as he began imagining a new platform for his experiments, he thought of YouTube, where he had been posting solo performance videos since 2009. In 2013, Bradlee began posting weekly videos in which he and a rotating cast of musicians and vocalists performed a new song each week, recorded live in a single take in Bradlee's living room. In September 2013, Bradlee posted his '50s-style reimagining of Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," and the clip soon went viral, racking up over four million views in less than two months and topping 14 million two years later. Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox channel was soon racking up Internet successes on a regular basis, and Bradlee continued to release both videos and albums based on his playful fun-house covers of popular songs. By 2015, Bradlee had made over 130 Postmodern Jukebox clips available online, and he and his crew were taking the show on the road, touring in North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Bradlee was quite prolific in 2016, with the release of several albums including PMJ and Chill and Swing the Vote! ~ Mark Dening https://www.allmusic.com/artist/scott-bradlees-postmodern-jukebox-mn0003405394/biography

Anyone who's been paying attention to PMJ's eclectic mix of song choices and stylistic twists shouldn't be surprised that this very personal playlist runs the gamut from certified rock classics to sentimental treasures and from cutting-edge '90s rock to surprising new discoveries. Whether these songs are old favorites or fresh discoveries, we're sure it won't take long before you know Scott's renditions by heart.

As many of you know, I started Postmodern Jukebox out of a small NYC apartment with nothing but a dream, a camera, and some talented friends. Since then, the project has grown into an internationally-touring phenomenon and major entertainment platform that has launched the careers of many – something of an “SNL for singers.” Along the way, I’ve met countless fans, musicians, and artists that have shown me inspiring levels of support for this project, and for REAL, LIVE MUSIC in general.

That’s why I am pleased to announce that I’ve partnered with Concord Records to bring you the first release on the newly-formed Postmodern Jukebox Records – titled, “Postmodern Jukebox : The Essentials.” The album features the 18 most essential tracks in the PMJ library – everything from our viral smash hits to some of our most vocally jaw-dropping performances from our many star cast members, to our most inspired vintage transformations. It is the perfect soundtrack to class up any event (it even comes with an insert booklet full of the popular vintage cocktail recipes), and the perfect start to building a Postmodern Jukebox collection of great performances. ~Scott

Bradlee was born in Long Island, New York, where he first fell in love with jazz at the age of 12 after hearing George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" for the first time. Bradlee became a successful performer, working in the New York jazz scene. Bradlee also served as music director for an interactive, off-Broadway theater experience called Sleep No More.
In looking for creative inspiration, Bradlee began reworking popular music as an exercise. In 2009, he released "Hello My Ragtime '80s," in which he incorporated popular music from the '80s with ragtime-style piano. After playing and experimenting on stage at his regular gig at Robert Restaurant, Bradlee released the compilation Mashups by Candlelight. He would finally begin to gain popularity with his release of A Motown Tribute to Nickleback in 2012, a collaboration with local musicians which arranged Nickleback's songs in the style of '60s style R&B music.
In 2013, Bradlee began to work more seriously on forming Postmodern Jukebox, a rotating group of musicians producing covers of pop songs in the styles of jazz, ragtime, and swing. The group broke out onto the public radar with their doo-wop cover of Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop". Several artists have publicly noted their appreciation for the group's work. As the viral surge grew, Bradlee was interviewed by news outlets such as NPR and also performed live on Good Morning America and Fuse. The group capped off their meteoric year with a visit to Cosmopolitan Magazine's New York office for a year end review of their work and popular songs from the year. The group's most prominent guest musician is Dave Koz, who collaborated with them in a 1930s jazz version of "Careless Whisper".
In 2013, Bradlee also found interest from the video game industry, gaining a composer credit for 2K Games' BioShock Infinite. The soundtrack features three of the artist's stylized arrangements.
