Haley Reinhart performed at Room 5 this past Tuesday night in Hollywood, California. Haley was added to the show calendar on Room 5’s website last minute a day before the show took place. There were other artists also performing.
A short but sweet set, accompanied by the house band, Haley performed her three songs “Better”, the newly released “Can’t Help Falling in Love” cover, and lastly “My Cake”.
Before performing Better, Haley stated that it will be her next single and hopefully is released by the end of this month! Also, she gave her first live performance of her new highly popular Elvis cover! Watch below:
Scott Bradlee has been making use of second YouTube channel to upload different types of content aside from the regular PMJ covers. This segment in particular he calls “Behind The Jukebox”.
Haley sat down with Scott in his living room for a short interview where she talks about her musical influences, upcoming projects, and more about the EP.

Our dynamic jazz duo Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams reunited last weekend to play at the 22nd Annual Jazz in the Pines festival in Casey’s hometown of Idyllwild, California.
The youthful Reinhart elevated the set from a fun reunion of friends to something very special with original material, the torch song, “Hey Baby, Ain’t I Good To You” and some beautiful harmonies with Casey. Their set was promoted as a showcase of a new type of jazz in which Casey and Haley would re-arrange contemporary pop hits in a ’20s and ’30s style, but they only did that on Meghan Treynor’s “All About That Bass,” which has an old-timey feel anyway. I’d love to see more of that since their version of that song was infectious.

The estimated crowd size was around 3,000 people. One lucky fan got to keep their setlist, which included songs such as “Never Knew What Love Could Do”, “Stuck in London”, “With a Little Help from My Friends”, “You Were There”, “Moanin'”, “My Cake”, “Better”, “Creep”, “Stacy’s Mom”, “Can’t Find My Way Home”, and many more!

Haley Reinhart arrived in Nashville last Thursday to join Scott Bradlee, and Postmodern Jukebox for part of their North American Tour! The tour kicked off in Boston on April 30th. Haley just now joined them, but she didn’t miss a beat, jumping right in to perform all of her PMJ covers with the band flawlessly, despite being sick with a cold. First song of the night was “Lovefool”, her latest cover with the band which was released the day of the show.

Haley’s remaining time on tour with PMJ runs from certain dates between 5/23-6/23! Don’t miss out on a chance to attend a show, see all tour dates here.
As the tour goes on, I’ll be updating this post after every show with the most recent pictures & videos!
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:
Support Haley and Postmodern Jukebox by downloading the song on iTunes! (Which is already #5 on the Jazz charts!)
Haley’s first show with PMJ on their North American Tour is tonight in Nashville, Tennessee!

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.
