Description
Scott Bradlee's story began with desperation and a passion for music. With student loan debt mounting and no lucrative gigs in sight, he found himself at a crossroads. It was under these circumstances that Bradlee started experimenting, combining his love of jazz, ragtime, and doo wop styles with contemporary hits by artists like Macklemore and Miley Cyrus. This chance combination led to the creation of Postmodern Jukebox, a rotating supergroup devoted to period covers of pop songs. The group's unique sound has captivated millions on YouTube, selling out major venues around the world and developing previously unknown talent into superstar singers. However, the journey was not without its challenges. In this memoir, Bradlee shares the story behind Postmodern Jukebox's success, from its humble beginnings in a basement apartment to its current status as a global sensation.
