At part of the Monte Carlo Sporing Music Festival, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox performs its second night at the Salle des Étoiles, at 8:30 pm.
In 2009, Scott Bradlee posted a video of a session on Youtube playing the repertoire of the Canadian group Nickelback on 1960s arrangements, “A Motown Tribute to Nickelback”. Encouraged by this initial smash success, he created his own Youtube channel and formed the Postmodern Jukebox where different musicians and vocalists took turns. Shortly later, their vintage cover Radiohead’s "Creep" shattered the internet with 19 million views.
Tickets for 8:30 pm dinner show are €143.50.
