Famed “Pop music in a Time Machine” concert extravaganza Postmodern Jukebox will come to Leisureland in Galway this Saturday, April 20.
The act is centred on pianist Scott Bradlee’s ability to reimagine modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits into classic genres like 1920s jazz, Swing, Doo-wop and Motown. The tunes are brought to life by a cast of some of the world’s best singers, dancers, and instrumentalists. Think The Great Gatsby meets ‘Sinatra at the Sands’ meets Back To The Future...
When pianist Bradlee started the time-twisting musical collective from a basement apartment in Queens, New York, an online, viral success story was born - one that quickly led to sold-out shows across North America and Europe in the Summer of 2014. The touring act received rave reviews from industry publications and world-renowned artists alike.
“By the end of 2023, PMJ will have performed 937 shows in 44 countries across 5 continents,” says Bradlee, who creates the musical arrangements and directs the shows. “That kind of longevity in a notoriously fickle industry was completely unexpected for us. There’s no secret formula, other than an obsession for classic sounds and a commitment to showcasing phenomenal talent. We continue to feel honoured and humbled by our audiences’ support for this project, which continues to inspire us and push us to new heights of artistry. It’s the perfect marriage, and our 10th anniversary tour will be a celebration.”
