Postmodern Jukebox originated when Bradlee began shooting
videos with his close friends from college in his small basement apartment in
Astoria, Queens. This original group included bassist Chris Anderson,
saxophonist Ben Golder-Novick, harpist Brandee Younger, and vocalist Emma
Walker.
Bradlee struggled for years post-college as a jazz
musician in the New York City area before hitting it big with his first viral
video in 2009 – "a medley of '80s songs done ragtime style." A tweet
from famed author Neil Gaiman was the beginning of his eventual online viral
popularity.

Reinhart, and saxophone player Ben Golder-Novick performing with Postmodern
Jukebox at a Live Concert in Cologne, March 2015.
In 2011, a precursor to the Postmodern Jukebox concept
emerged in the form of Bradlee's project A Motown Tribute to Nickelback. It was
this video that introduced the world to many PMJ featured performers including
bassist Adam Kubota, drummer Allan Mednard, emcee Drue Davis, sax / EWI player
/ producer Steve Ujfalussy (also known as '90s R&B icon "Steve
Sweat" from Saturday Morning Slow Jams) and Tambourine Guy, Tim Kubart.
