Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox « The Future Is Vintage Tour 2026 »

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox brings The Future Is Vintage Tour 2026 to De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on 19 May 2026. Led by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee, the collective takes contemporary hits and rewires them in older styles — swing, ragtime, doo‑wop, soul, big band. On stage, a live band with horns and rhythm anchors the set while a rotating lineup of vocalists steps in, each giving the songs a distinct grain and phrasing. Born online and shaped by ongoing collaboration, PMJ treats pop, hip‑hop and R&B as standards in the making, trading drum machines for shuffle beats, glossy hooks for close harmonies, and modern bridges for brass breaks. The repertoire shifts from show to show, but the method stays clear: reshape familiar melodies with period arrangements, leave space for voices and solos, and let the groove carry the reinterpretation. From slow-burn croons to uptempo swing numbers, the night draws a line between today’s playlist and a century of styles.
