Postmodern Jukebox Comes to The CCA  Image

Viral vintage pop sensations Postmodern Jukebox ("PMJ") will take the Capitol Center for the Arts mainstage on Saturday, October 27, 2018 at 8PM. The CCA, with its Art Deco décor, is an ideal venue in which to hear a performance which the band itself calls a "non-stop throwback carnival."

PMJ has always been about using modern media to turn back the clock to a time we always imagine in shades of black and white -- simpler, more carefree, without so many mind-boggling devices and distractions, every one streaming in hi-def at any hour of the day! Of course, live entertainment was always live and in vibrant color, so Postmodern Jukebox offers fans the best of both worlds.

PMJ shows bring a full band of gifted musicians, with a cast of favorite singers and tons of surprises, to a city near you. As any Postmodern Jukebox fan can tell you, the experience is never the same twice, with new songs and shifting combinations of members giving a unique twist to every show. PMJ looks forward to bringing their unique spin on modern pop hits and retro pop stylings to new cities for the first time, while revisiting favorite haunts that feel more like home each time around.

The multi-talented collective reimagines contemporary pop, rock and R&B hits in the style of various yesteryears, from swing to doo-wop, ragtime to Motown - or, as creator Scott Bradlee himself puts it, "pop music in a time machine." Started by Bradlee in 2009, PMJ has gone on to amass more than 950 million YouTube views with 3.3 million subscribers, and have chalked up more than 1.5 million likes on Facebook. The band has performed on "Good Morning America," topped iTunes and Billboard charts, caught the attention of NPR Music and NBC News, and played hundreds of shows to sold-out houses around the world.

For those who only know Postmodern Jukebox from their time-warping videos, the live show is an experience on a whole other level. It's a Roaring 20s party that would make the Great Gatsby proud, mixed with a swinging 60s night with the Rat Pack, spiced up with a little Motor City soul and some classic sock hop rockin' that gets the audiences twisting or twerking the night away - depending on what era their mood is in. A PMJ tour is a unique blend of talents and personalities that makes for a show that's always entertaining and consistently fresh and exciting.

Tickets for the October 27 Postmodern Jukebox performance may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the Center's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11AM to 6PM.

The award-winning Capitol Center for the Arts (ccanh.com) inspires, educates, and entertains audiences by providing a quality venue for the performing arts as well as a wide range of professional-level, artistically-significant presentations. The Center is conveniently located off Rt. 93 in downtown Concord, New Hampshire and is close to several quality restaurants, shopping boutiques, and other area attractions. The facility first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit; it later became Concord's premier movie house and concert hall. After closing in 1989, it underwent a multi-million dollar renovation / modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts. Today, the Capitol Center is home to the 1304-seat Chubb Theatre, the Spotlight Café, The Governor's Hall ballroom, and the Kimball House, a Victorian mansion.
