Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, often abbreviated as PMJ, is a rotating musical collective founded by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011. The group is renowned for reimagining popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz. Bradlee's vision was to bring bygone eras of music to the present day, offering a time-twisting auditory experience that blends the old with the new in unexpected and delightful ways. The concept took off when Bradlee began posting videos on YouTube, turning hits by contemporary artists into stylistic mashups that seemed to transport listeners back in time.

Over the years, Postmodern Jukebox has built a vast discography and a loyal global following, with their YouTube channel amassing millions of views. They've covered an eclectic mix of artists, from Britney Spears to Radiohead, always with a twist—morphing "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis into a roaring '20s jazz number, or reimagining Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" as a doo-wop song. Their most recent releases, including covers like "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "Puttin' On The Rizz," continue to showcase the group's ability to bridge musical epochs, making every song uniquely their own while paying homage to the timeless qualities of music from the past. Through their innovative arrangements and diverse musical talents, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox has not only provided a new perspective on contemporary hits but has also reminded us of the enduring power and versatility of music.
