Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox: Magic, Moonlight & Mistletoe
11/13/2025 - 7:00pm

When New York City pianist Scott Bradlee created Postmodern Jukebox out of a basement in Queens in 2011, his goal was simple: to remake the pop hits of today into the classic sounds of the legends of yesterday. Miley Cyrus became The Platters. Bruno Mars became Frank Sinatra. The Spice Girls became The Andrews Sisters. Guns 'n' Roses became Bessie Smith. 

Now, over a decade and two billion YouTube views later, Postmodern Jukebox has grown to become a pop culture mainstay in its own right, having played over a thousand shows on six continents. One part celebration of vintage music and culture, one part Saturday Night Live for singers, a Postmodern Jukebox show is an unforgettable trip back in time - in Baker Hall, again!
