Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox 2016 Tour
Genre-busting Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox announced a run of North American tour dates. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 22 at 10am local. Visit for more info.
Postmodern Jukebox, an ongoing musical project spearheaded by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee, takes contemporary pop and rock tunes and fashions new arrangements for them that cast them in an unpredictable variety of musical styles from the past.
The tour follows PMJ’s current 75-date almost completely sold-out international run, which wraps this June. In 2015, the group's sold-out tours of Australia and the United States prompted the Buffalo News to proclaim, “Postmodern Jukebox is literally a postmodern success, extending its reach from the virtual to the real world, touring and performing around the globe for an ever-growing fan base.”
Created by Bradlee, the rotating collective of Postmodern Jukebox has spent the past few years amassing more than 450 million YouTube views and 1.9 million subscribers, performed on “Good Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard charts and played hundreds of shows to packed-house crowds around the world. As NPR put it, they’ve done this by “taking current Top 40 hits and re-imagining them as coming from older eras of popular music.” In one such remake, Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox turned Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” into a doo-wop ditty that’s garnered over 15.4 million views. Last year, they envisioned Radiohead’s alt-rock hit “Creep” as a torch-like ballad that’s racked up over 16.9 million views and was named one of the “9 Best Viral Cover Videos of 2015” by People magazine. Multi-Grammy winning artist Lorde praised Postmodern Jukebox’s vintage take on her hit single, “Royals,” which has been viewed over 15.3 million times, as her “favorite.” They recently performed a ‘30s jazz remake of Elle King’s “Ex’s & Oh’s” for MTV UK.
Bradlee, the mastermind behind the group, has turned Postmodern Jukebox into a juggernaut by building an incredible grassroots movement around the act. He continues to pick the songs, create the arrangements and shows, and puts together the performers - which includes some notable names alongside phenomenal undiscovered talent. The group releases a new video every week, each one shot in the casual environment of Bradlee’s living room where he can often be seen playing piano in the background.

Westin Hotel, time square, Midtown New York City (view from 35th floor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Times Square
Times Square is a major commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Times Square -- iconified as The Crossroads of the World[1][2][3][4][5] and the The Great White Way[6][7][8] -- is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theater district,[9] one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections,[10] and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.[11] According to Travel + Leisure magazine's October 2011 survey, Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, bringing in over 39 million visitors annually.[12]
Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building -- now called One Times Square -- site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve.[13]
The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theatre tickets booth. The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events. The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[14]
Early history
Before and after the American Revolution, the area belonged to John Morin Scott, a general of the New York militia, in which he served under George Washington. Scott's manor house was at what is currently 43rd Street, surrounded by countryside used for farming and breeding horses. In the first half of the 19th century it became one of the prized possessions of John Jacob Astor, who made a second fortune selling off lots to hotels and other real estate concerns as the city rapidly spread uptown.[15] By 1872 the area had become the center of New York's carriage industry. The area not having previously been named, the city authorities called it Longacre Square after Long Acre in London, where the carriage trade in that city was centered.[16]
The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) watercourse that flows from north to south through eastern New York State in the United States. The river begins at Henderson Lake in Newcomb, New York. The river flows southward past the state capital at Albany and then eventually forms the boundary between New York City and the U.S. state of New Jersey at its mouth before emptying into Upper New York Bay. Its lower half is a tidal estuary,[3] which occupies the Hudson Fjord. This formed during the most recent North American glaciation over the latter part of the Wisconsin Stage of the Last Glacial Maximum, 26,000 to 13,300 years ago.[4] Tidal waters influence the Hudson's flow as far north as Troy, New York.
In 1930, hotel owners Severt W. Thurston and Frank Dupar, both of Seattle, Washington USA, formed a partnership in order to manage their hotels more efficiently. Together with Peter and Adolph Schmidt they formed Western Hotels, with seventeen properties, all but one in the state of Washington.[1]
Early management developed each property individually. After more than two decades of rapid growth, prompting a name change in 1954 to Western International Hotels, many of its properties were merged into a single corporate structure in 1958, and the company went public in 1963. For its 50th anniversary in 1980, it changed its name again to the current Westin Hotels & Resorts.
Westin markets certain amenities available in its properties to the public under the brand name Heavenly. In 2005, Westin became the first hotel company to gain a national retail store presence when Nordstrom started carrying the Heavenly Bed line in more than 60 stores.
Westin refreshed its partnership with United Airlines in 2008. United offers pillows and blankets from their Heavenly Bed line on select United premium service routes between New York City and California, as well as Westin decorations and scents in some Red Carpet Club lounges.[3]
Especially in the last decade, Westin has focused on expanding globally. Since 2005, the number of hotels has grown from 120 locations in 24 countries to over 160 locations in 37 countries as of 2011.

The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) watercourse that flows from north to south through eastern New York State in the United States. The river begins at Henderson Lake in Newcomb, New York. The river flows southward past the state capital at Albany and then eventually forms the boundary between New York City and the U.S. state of New Jersey at its mouth before emptying into Upper New York Bay. Its lower half is a tidal estuary,[3] which occupies the Hudson Fjord. This formed during the most recent North American glaciation over the latter part of the Wisconsin Stage of the Last Glacial Maximum, 26,000 to 13,300 years ago.[4] Tidal waters influence the Hudson's flow as far north as Troy, New York.
In 1930, hotel owners Severt W. Thurston and Frank Dupar, both of Seattle, Washington USA, formed a partnership in order to manage their hotels more efficiently. Together with Peter and Adolph Schmidt they formed Western Hotels, with seventeen properties, all but one in the state of Washington.[1]
Early management developed each property individually. After more than two decades of rapid growth, prompting a name change in 1954 to Western International Hotels, many of its properties were merged into a single corporate structure in 1958, and the company went public in 1963. For its 50th anniversary in 1980, it changed its name again to the current Westin Hotels & Resorts.
Westin markets certain amenities available in its properties to the public under the brand name Heavenly. In 2005, Westin became the first hotel company to gain a national retail store presence when Nordstrom started carrying the Heavenly Bed line in more than 60 stores.
Westin refreshed its partnership with United Airlines in 2008. United offers pillows and blankets from their Heavenly Bed line on select United premium service routes between New York City and California, as well as Westin decorations and scents in some Red Carpet Club lounges.[3]
Especially in the last decade, Westin has focused on expanding globally. Since 2005, the number of hotels has grown from 120 locations in 24 countries to over 160 locations in 37 countries as of 2011.

RFD The Theatre Veterans Day 30secs
RFD-TV is teaming up with comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy to bring the “We’ve Been Thinking” comedy tour to Branson, Missouri for two shows on Veterans Day, November 11, 2015. The superstar comedians will join forces for an unforgettable night of comedy at RFD-TV The Theatre. During this momentous event, both comedians will deliver a laughter-packed evening of all new material before they come together on stage for an uproarious encore you won’t want to miss! Show times are 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Branson was selected as a key tour stop based the plethora of Veterans Day activities. With a record number of visitors in the untold thousands, it was the best place to show our gratitude and respect to those who’ve served.
“RFD-TV is so very proud to be the presenting sponsor for Jeff and Larry's upcoming comedy tour. Their values match up so well with RFD-TV's goals as we both strive to provide family oriented entertainment from a rural perspective. We are excited that they’ll be at our theatre on Veterans Day. It’s sure to be a fun-filled evening of rural humor,” said Patrick Gottsch, founder and president of RFD-TV.
Jeff Foxworthy commented, “When I am not on stage I can usually be found on my farm on a tractor. For that reason, I’m thrilled to have RFD-TV as a sponsor for the new tour. There are so many wonderful things about this lifestyle and they do a great job of showcasing them. I for one hope I die with mud on my boots! I really look forward to the tour with new material and my great friend Larry the Cable Guy!
Larry the Cable Guy echoed this sentiment: “I love RFD-TV and have watched it long before Patrick lost a lot of money to me at golf. To have them sponsor our show means a lot and I hope that through our shows we can help spread the word that RFD-TV is America’s greatest cheerleader. Git-R-Done!”
Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most respected and successful comedians in the country. He is the largest selling comedy-recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award nominee, and bestselling author of more than 26 books. Widely known for his redneck jokes, his act goes well beyond that to explore the humor in everyday family interactions and human nature, a style that has been compared to Mark Twain’s. He recently launched his own comedy channel “Jeff and Larry’s Comedy Roundup,” a partnership with SiriusXM and Larry the Cable Guy. Jeff also currently hosts the FOX game show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. Jeff started his own outdoor company, Foxworthy Outdoors, which features a line of products related to the outdoor lifestyle. Away from the stage, Jeff is involved with several charitable organizations including The Atlanta Mission, Charity Water, and the Duke Children’s Hospital.
Larry the Cable Guy is a multi-platinum recording artist, Grammy nominee, Billboard award winner, and one of the top comedians in the country. He has his own line of merchandise and continues to sell out theatres and arenas across the United States. He is the spokesman for Prilosec OTC and most recently launched his own comedy channel on SiriusXM with Jeff Foxworthy. He will also return as the voice of beloved Mater in Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3, which is currently in production. In addition to all of his professional accomplishments, Larry created the Git-R-Done Foundation, which is named after Larry’s signature catchphrase. With an emphasis on children and veterans’ causes, The Git-R-Done Foundation has donated more than seven million dollars to great organizations such as The Arnold Palmer Hospital, Operation Homefront, and Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital.

Just another towelhead: Hamda Yusuf at TEDxRainier
Hamda Yusuf, a spoken word poet and a student at University of Washington, grew up listening to stories from her parents who saw stories as a means for preserving their Somali culture. This led her to discover spoken word poetry and her voice. Just another towlhead is the title of one of her poems.
Hamda Yusuf is currently living in Seattle but was born in Mombasa, Kenya and grew up in Somalia and the Netherlands. Her love of literature and all things poetry began with her move to the US at the age of 10 where she secretly read the poetry of Rumi and Walt Whitman on top of her English Second Language work in order to accelerate her English lessons. Hailing from Somalia, a country known as a nation of poets, she uses her poetry as a means to better connect to the ancient traditions of her ancestors.
Today she's a 19-year-old University of Washington sophomore pursuing a degree in international studies. Hamda's work has been featured at The Paramount Theatre, Fifth Avenue Theatre, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam, and at various colleges and universities. Right now she is focusing much of her energy on her college studies, performing within their poetry collective Manic Mouth Congress. Hamda plans to pursue a career in the Department of State while cultivating her poetry in new forms. She is currently working on a book of poetry.

The Monkees I'm A Believer, Good Times! Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz Live 2016
For the first time since Davy Jones died in 2012 of a heart attack, The Monkees original members Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork sing on live TV. I'm A Believer and She Makes Me Laugh was performed on GMA the morning of June 1, 2016.
In 1967, The Monkees sold more records than The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined. Jimi Hendrix Experience was the opening act on The Monkees sixties national tour.
‘I’m A Believer’ from ‘More of the Monkees’ (1967) is The Monkees biggest and most enduring hit, staying at Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 for seven weeks. The Monkees most identifiable song was written by a young Neil Diamond, but the group made it their own thanks to the dynamic vocals of Mickey Dolenz. As the featured single from the band's second album, 'More Of The Monkees' was one of the biggest selling pop/rock albums of the '60's, sitting atop the Billboard 200 album charts for 18 weeks.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the launch of The Monkees, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith released Good Times, the band's first album in 20 years. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself, Mickey Dolenz joked.
The Monkees' first studio album in 20 years was released May 27, 2016. Good Times! celebrates the band's 50th anniversary and features new contributions from surviving members Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. CD also includes tunes written especially for the project by various respected modern-rock artists.
Mike Nesmith said he was pleasantly surprised with Good Times! I thought it came out great, and the songs that people have been writing for it I thought were great, noted Nesmith. It just came together like an ordinary record, but because it was our 50th [anniversary], we knew it was gonna be kind of a touchstone, so everybody had high hopes for it, he continued. And then when it came out like it did, it was like, 'Holy smokes, this actually…sounds good!' And so, we were thrilled.
The album includes tunes written by Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Oasis' Noel Gallagher, The Jam's Paul Weller, XTC's Andy Partridge and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard. Nesmith said he especially liked Gibbard's contribution, Me and Magdelana, as well as a track that Weller and Gallagher co-wrote, Birth of an Accidental Hipster.
On Me and Magdelana, Nesmith trades lead vocals with Dolenz. He said that working with his old band mate on the parts for that song, and other tracks, was one of the things he most enjoyed about making the album. It was very easy 'cause we worked together for so long, he pointed out, adding that having the different writers gave us so many more things to say and so many more opportunities at a good time. Ha! No pun intended.
Good Times! certainly shares many elements with The Monkees' classic 1960s material, including infectious melodies and jangly guitars. Still, Nesmith feels that the new album is more than a trip down memory lane. The thing that I think works so good about the new record is that it really is in the moment, he insisted. It's happening right now. These are real people, right now, singing it in this real time.
