Look, life is busy. You’ve got laundry, emails, and that one friend who always double-books. But Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox is a reminder that you don’t have to take everything so seriously. It’s permission to laugh at the absurdity of a heavy metal song played on a ukulele, and to feel fancy for a few hours.
So go ahead. Buy a ticket. Drag your skeptical friend, your mom, or your coworker who only likes “real” music. You’ll leave humming a tune you’ve never heard before, with a smile you didn’t expect. And isn’t that what a good evening out is really about? A little bit of unexpected joy, wrapped in a jazz band’s suit and tie.
