It’s Throwback Thursday! Which means Postmodern Jukebox’s newest video was released today. This is Haley’s 3rd solo cover with PMJ so far.
“Lovefool” by The Cardigans was their song choice this time around. You might not remember which song it is by the title, but everyone’s heard it at least once in their lifetime. Scott Bradlee and Haley took this 1990’s hit and transformed it into a 1940’s Frank Sinatra-esque jazz classic.
There’s nostalgia all around with this one, Haley and her old band “Reinhart & The Rastitutes” performed Lovefool years ago before her time on American Idol at a Yacht Club concert. Watch below:
Since then, many years and endless experience have come by and Haley sounds as incredible as ever with this lovely new cover:

Haley was invited to join the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West for the first night of their 7 day Southern California Tour, at the Valley Performing Arts Center located on the CSUN (California State University of Northridge) campus.
The event began at 7:30pm. Despite the pouring rain in LA that evening, a big crowd of young and old filled the beautiful VPAC.
Haley sang two songs with the fifty piece band, starting with Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”:
Last but not least, they performed Haley’s original song “Love is Worth Fighting For”. Haley stated that this song will be on her upcoming EP! It probably won’t sound anything like this version, but either way it was a real treat to hear it played to this capacity of instrumental.
Here are two videos from different perspectives of this performance:
The USAF Band of the Golden West expressed great gratitude towards Haley and what a privilege it was to perform with her. And vice versa!
@BandGoldenWest It was an absolute pleasure performing with you all last night! Thanks for learning my tune & for all that you do! See ya’s!
Some exciting stuff took place last week regarding Haley and her new music. Accompanied by guitarist Daniel Wills, Haley played her entire EP for the ole team at The Hit Factory Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, Florida.
Haley was back in New Orleans spending some time with her family at Jazz fest last week. Conveniently, Haley’s dad Harry Reinhart was able to accompany her on guitar to help do some shows down in New Orleans as well later that week.
On the morning of April 29th, they played for a Bose company conference at the Hyatt Regency, New Orleans.

Haley and her dad performed an acoustic performance of “Creep” at the event, which you can watch below:
Later on that day, Haley surprised the company and did a late night set for their party at the Hard Rock Cafe, New Orleans.
Sounds like an awesome day for those Bose employees! Haley was even gifted a pair of sound proof Bose headphones.
Postmodern Jukebox teamed up with Mashable.com to premiere this week’s new video, along with a nice write up about Scott Bradlee, his success, and going on a world tour.
Posted to The Watercooler’s YouTube channel instead, singers Annie Goodchild and Von Smith help create vintage cover of Taylor Swift’s song, “Style”.
“Inspired by the lyrics “James dean look in your eye”, Postmodern Jukebox Turns Taylor Swift’s “Style” into a vintage doo wop song.”
Haley and Casey sing back up vocals and the “shoo be doo wahs” for this fun “Grease” like cover.

Haley got the honor to sing the National Anthem at Staples Center for Game 7 of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Clippers playoff series on Saturday night, May 2nd.
Haley Reinhart is set to be a special guest performing with the United States Air Force Band at the Valley Performing Arts Center, located on the CSUN (California State University, Northridge) campus.
It’s a free show! Starts at 7:30pm on Thursday, May 14th, 2015.
Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams and Dylan Chambers put on another great show at the Room 5 Lounge in Hollywood last Wednesday night. The show was made possible thanks to Dylan, who went on first at 10pm and opened the show with an entertaining charming set.
Next on was Casey, who started his set with a few of his own songs. He even mashed up Jason Derulo’s “Talk Dirty to Me” with his song “Dry Spell”. After that, it didn’t take long for Haley to join him up on stage and sing with him for the rest of his set.
Haley creeped up on stage to play her “hand trumpet” for “Almost Like Being in Love”:
Casey then teased Haley for barging in on his set, telling her that now she has to stay and sing more songs with him. So of course she stayed and they went on to sing Casey’s song “Never Knew What Love Could do”, where Casey invited Haley to share a seat with him:

Next song up was “Stuck in London”, a song from Casey’s debut album which always gets a fantastic crowd reaction:
They also brought back a popular cover of theirs that they hadn’t done in awhile, “Sail”:
It was then Haley’s turn, and with her she had friend and fellow singer/songwriter Anders Grahn to play guitar and do backup vocals. Anders and Haley have written a few songs together now. They first met at a song camp in Santorini Greece, where they wrote “Better”.
Haley started off her set with a brand new song called “Lover Girl”, that as she explains in the video, may or may not make the upcoming EP:
LYRICS (might not be 100% correct):
Next was “Better”, as stated earlier, Haley and Anders wrote this song together on the first day of their songwriting camp. It was a treat to watch it performed by the people who created it:
Haley said it’s tradition to do a new Beatle’s cover at every Room 5 show, so her and Anders gave us a beautiful rendition of “Don’t Let Me Down”:
The second new song she debuted for us that night was “Good or Bad” which may also make the EP as well:
LYRICS (might not be 100% correct):
Casey was then brought back up on stage to perform with Haley and Anders for the rest of the show, they started with a jazzy acoustic amazing version of “Night and Day”:
The show was almost over, but the crowd at this sold out show were in for a real treat. Haley gave a sensational acoustic performance of her highly popular “Creep” cover. Less jazzy this time around, but still the same singing arrangement. It was nothing short of amazing to hear live. Do yourself a favor and have a listen below:
Last but not least, to close out the show Haley and Casey sang another popular cover of theirs (and Postmodern Jukebox), an epic (and hilariously entertaining) performance of “All About That Bass”:
Yet another amazing sold out (well deserved) show by Dylan, Casey and Haley. They are all so talented and are the kindest most down to earth people, which doesn’t go unnoticed and is probably the reason their shows keep selling out.
I got to talk to Haley, and she said her EP is moving along quickly, and should be out this summer! There are lots more new songs we have yet to hear, and a few will be left for a surprise once the EP is out. I also asked about the possibility of her own tour for her EP, it’s definitely a possibility, stay tuned.
As for the Postmodern Jukebox tour coming up, Haley’s really excited about it and is so proud of what her and Casey have been able to do with them. Check to see if Haley’s coming to a city near you here, & buy tickets at pmjlive.com!
When we all first heard “Show Me Your Moves” back in July 2014, I think we all could agree that the song could be used for so many different kinds of things, which is what made it even more exciting.
This morning, ole tweeted the latest commercial to use Haley’s song:
