From YouTube Origins to Global Phenomenon
Founded in New York in 2011 by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee, Postmodern Jukebox started with simple videos shot in a modest apartment. These clips reworked popular songs into classic styles, quickly gaining traction online and amassing over a billion views.
The project has grown into an international touring success, with sold-out performances across six continents. The ever-changing lineup showcases exceptional vocalists, instrumentalists, and performers celebrated for their charisma, skill, and theatrical presence. For over a decade, these concerts have drawn crowds worldwide, offering escapism, humor, virtuosity, and pure entertainment.
In the context of growing discussions around artificial intelligence in music creation, the tour emphasizes a vision rooted in timeless genres and authentic human expression, contrasting with predictions of fully AI-generated content in the future.
