Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox Viral sensation Postmodern Jukebox originally blew up online with videos that showcased the group’s trademark vintage twist on modern pop hits. Since then, this traveling band of throwback minstrels has brought their unique spin on pop favorites to sold-out shows around the world. Drawing on a setlist that can include anything from Guns N’ Roses to Beyoncé, the rotating cast of musicians and singers renders modern music in fashions that date back to a time of street corner harmonies and torch singers, blues belters and golden-voiced crooners. With the Houston Press proclaiming them “a worldwide phenomenon,” Postmodern Jukebox has earned legions of fans by doing what band creator Scott Bradlee calls “putting pop music in a time machine.” Super Fans should note that SCOTT BRADLEE'S POSTMODERN JUKEBOX show has two VIP packages for more fun and more!

(Please be sure that you bring a story about a mother, not an homage.) Tickets are $17.25 and available one week in advance. Doors open at 6pm – StorySLAM begins at 7pm. Cocktails available at the bar. Guided tour of the historic Olympia Theater during intermission. Want to participate in a StorySLAM?

Being exposed to such an array of cultures and melting pot of genres, has given Nikki her unique sound. Her musical palate ranges from Jazz, Electronic Music, Reggae, Pop, Rock, Soul and R&B and that diversity is shown and very evident in Nikki's music. Nikki earned her Bachelors at the University of Miami in Studio Music and Jazz Voice as well as a Minor in Music Business. At UM Nikki studied with world renown jazz artists such as Kevin Mahogony, Kurt Elling, and John Secada. It was at the University of Miami where Nikki developed and ear for jazz and her own unique stage presence. Voted Miami New Times "Best Jazz Act" in 2018 and Legacy Magazines 40 Under 40 in 2018! Nikki Kidd has a way of commanding the stage which makes her performances one NOT to miss!

Joe Jackson: Four Decade Tour Following the 2015 release of the critically acclaimed Fast Forward, legendary songwriter Joe Jackson has announced the release of his new studio album Fool. The record, which is the 20th studio album of Jackson’s career, was the fulfillment of a career-long dream: to finish a tour and head straight into the studio with the band firing on all cylinders. So, on July 29th, Joe wrapped up his 2018 summer tour at The Eqyptian Theater in Boise, Idaho – and the following day set up shop at Tonic Room Studios in town. In his own words: “So, here comes a big tour. We want to celebrate the fact that this is happening after 40 years – anything else, would be like sulking in a room by yourself on your own birthday party. Looking for some way to organize a show out of 40 years' worth of material, I decided to draw on five albums, each representing a decade: Look Sharp (1979) Night And Day (1982) Laughter And Lust(1991) Rain(2008) and Fool (2019). We'll also throw in a couple of songs from other albums and some new covers. I can't wait. Let's party.” Olympia Theater audiences are in for a great night of music… Presented by AEG Presents and Olympia Theater |
