Postmodern Jukebox (aka PMJ) is coming to town.

They'll perform a concert at the Rose Music Center on Thursday, June 7. Tickets range from $20 to $164.50.

PMJ originally blew up online, with new videos added weekly that keep finding creative new ways to put creator Scott Bradlee's trademark vintage twist on modern pop hits.

Since Bradlee created the project in 2009, PMJ has gained more than 925 million YouTube views and 3.2 million subscribers, and more than 1.3 million likes on Facebook. They’ve also performed on “Good Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard charts, caught the attention of NPR Music and NBC News, and played hundreds of sold-out shows around the world.

“I take pride in putting together the right powers and personalities to create a unique and amazing experience for our fans,” Bradlee said in a press release sent to this news organization. “We want them to escape reality and join us for the most sensational 1920s party this side of The Great Gatsby. We want them to experience what it was like to be at the New Years' Eve show that Sinatra would have hosted in the 1940s. We want them to feel the excitement of hearing the greats of Motown live and up close. Our goal is to give our audiences their favorite show again and again and still have it feel like the very first time."
