Postmodern Jukebox Christmas Show

Last night a friend and I went to the Strathmore to see Postmodern Jukebox in concert. I saw the group perform last year and loved the show, so I knew I wanted to see this performance, too. 

Each show features different singers (I think a lot of performers are part of the broader group!), so some of these videos might not be the exact people we saw that night. But you'll get the idea! These were some of the holiday songs they featured:

Gunhild Carling was my favorite performer of the night. She could sing, dance, and
play several different musical instruments, including three trumpets at one time! Image found here.

While this show was part of their Christmas tour, they didn't only sing holiday songs. My favorite was Gunhild Carling's version of Madonna's Material Girl. The thing I like best about PMJ is how they transform modern hits into 1920's jazz songs, and she did that perfectly.

I also really enjoyed Caity Gyorgy's version of Taylor Swift's Love Story (this is her in the video):

Sarah Potenza has a very strong voice, and she brought it with her own rendition of Huey Lewis' song The Power of Love:

And it was not until I heard PMJ sing this song that I learned the lyrics were "Radioactive" (I thought he was singing "Ready to rock you" this whole time!)

Their final encore song was Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass, which was really fun:

And one of the best parts about seeing PMJ is not only the singing, but the tapdancing! Check it out:

This is the tap dancer we saw last night (I think his name is Jabu Graybeal):

Such a fun show. As long as they keep coming to this venue, I'll keep buying tickets!
