SCOTT BRADLEE'S POSTMODERN JUKEBOX "PMJ AND CHILL"

Postmodern Jukebox, also widely known by the acronym PMJ, is a rotating music collective founded by arranger and pianist Scott Bradlee in 2011. PMJ is known for reworking popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz. In its first few years of existence, Postmodern Jukebox has amassed over 500 million YouTube views and 2 million subscribers.Each week, Postmodern Jukebox puts out a new video on YouTube, most of which are filmed casually in Bradlee's living room. The band has covered songs by artists ranging from Lady Gaga and The Strokes to Katy Perry and the White Stripes. Since their beginnings as a small group of friends making music in a basement in Queens, New York, Postmodern Jukebox has gone on to feature 70 different performers and tour four continents.The origins of Postmodern Jukebox came when Bradlee began shooting videos with his close friends from college in his small basement apartment in Astoria, Queens.Bradlee struggled post-college as a jazz musician in the New York City area for years before hitting it big with his first viral video in 2009 – “a medley of ‘80s songs done ragtime style.” A tweet from famed author Neil Gaiman was the beginning of his eventual online viral popularity.

In early February 2016, Postmodern Jukebox covered the late David Bowie’s classic song "Heroes" in honor of World Cancer Day – featuring vocals by Nicole Atkins. The track was sold on iTunes to earn money for the Cancer Research Institute.[39] At the same time, PMJ launched a program called "Reboxed," consisting of new versions of songs that had already been covered by PMJ. The first Reboxed song was Niemietz (and the Sole Sisters) singing "Bad Romance" which had previously been sung by Ariana Savalas (feat. Sarah Reich tap dancing). PostmodernJukebox

TUBA SKINNY "PYRAMID STRUT"

Formed in in 2009, Tuba Skinny has steadily evolved from a loose collection of street musicians into a solid ensemble dedicated to bringing the traditional New Orleans sound to audiences around the world. Drawing on a wide range of musical influences—from spirituals to Depression-era blues, from ragtime to traditional jazz—their sound evokes the rich musical heritage of their New Orleans home. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances. We are happy to say that our newest album "Pyramid Strut" is finally complete. Recorded this past March in Tasmania, complete with 15 songs, 2 new original compositions by the band, and artwork by Shaye.  Thanks for your patience!  Hard copies are available now from The Louisiana Music Factory or at any of our shows.  TUBA SKINNY
 

POKEY LAFARGE "POKEY LAFARGE"

Siamo entusiasti di annunciare che il nuovo album omonimo in studio di Pokey LaFarge, è qui !  L'album è stato prodotto da Ketch Secor di Old Crow Medicine Show e rilasciato da Jack White. Pokey LaFarge, nato nel 1983, è un americano, musicista e cantautore, che si è concentrato sulla musica delle radici americane. LaFarge si interessò molto di storia e letteratura durante la sua infanzia, ed è stato fortemente influenzato dai suoi nonni. Uno era un membro del Club di Banjo di St. Louis, che ha dato a Pokey la sua prima chitarra e un banjo tenore. Ha goduto degli scritti di John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway e Jack Kerouac. Come  adolescente, LaFarge ha combinato il suo apprezzamento per la storia e la scrittura, con la sua nuovissima scoperta della musica blues. La sua è una miscela di jazz, ragtime, vaudeville, blues e folk. La migliore nuova band, si trova quindi a Saint Louis, nel Missouri, un gruppo che mescola arte, virtuosismo e creatività in egual misura. Suonano fuori da una macchina del tempo, che è venuta direttamente dal 1928, un gruppo che suona come l'etere più distillata della musica americana, che potrebbe crescere solo nel Midwest all'incrocio di ragtime, blues e country.  E la magia è solo sormontata dalla voce di Pokey, grande e vasta come il Mississippi, e la sua irresistibile presenza scenica.  POKEY LAFARGE
