We had the pleasure of interviewing Jukebox The Ghost over Zoom video.Jukebox the Ghost's flamboyant and ambitious new album, “Cheers” is an arena-sized, ebullient toast to surviving and thriving in the face of hard times, conjuring up 70's Queen and McCartney-styled song suites, without sacrificing any modern punch. As the millennial generation's torch carrier of the piano pop legacy, Jukebox the Ghost's latest album represents a fresh, ambitious, and imaginative take on the piano rock genre. Piano-pop trio Jukebox the Ghost formed in college in 2006 and has steadily their devoted fanbase over almost two decades, finding their home as an internationally touring band with a massive, grassroots following outside of traditional music industry pipelines. Composed of Ben Thornewill (piano/vocals), Tommy Siegel (guitar/bass/vocals) and Jesse Kristin (drums/vocals), they have played over 1,000 shows around the world over the course of their touring career. “Cheers”, their sixth studio effort, is the result of a three-year songwriting and recording process, culled from over 50 songs that the band brought to the table. The recording process began in Brooklyn during the beginning of the pandemic and continued throughout, with the band self-producing and quarantining together for six months to make the finished product -- by far the longest stretch of time the band has spent in the studio working on a LP to date. The effort is palpable; motifs appear and re-appear in interstitial tracks that segue into standalone pop songs, implying a larger thematic architecture that borders on a concept record without being overwrought. By almost any measure, it's their most ambitious and cohesive creative effort to date.Longtime fans will hear little bits of past Jukebox the Ghost embedded in the record, distilled into something more confident and bold. The imaginative lyrics, song segues, and storytelling of Let Live and Let Ghosts (2008), the retro sensibility of Everything Under the Sun (2010), the concise modern pop smarts of their recent self-titled album (2014) and the broad pop earnestness of Off to the Races (2018) are all on full display. On their sixth studio album, Jukebox the Ghost is firing on all cylinders. Cheers, indeed.We want to hear from you!

Marleah and James talk about the Jukebox the Ghost (with Zach Jones & The Tricky Bits) show that Marleah saw at Webster Hall on 10-26-19…for Jukebox the Ghost’s special Halloween show, Halloqueen! It’s one half JTG, one half JTG as Queen (and yes, they dress up!). Marleah relays a fan theory as to why Jukebox the Ghost isn’t mainstream and ruminates over her flip-flopping crush on Ben Thornewill, depending on whether he’s channeling Freddie Mercury (it’s when he’s channeling Freddie Mercury). Side note: we don’t claim to know exactly what went down with Tally Hall and Atlantic, this is all rumors, people! James defends the Webster Hall renovation and grieves missing some dope Tom Petty covers (another correction: Gramercy Theatre and Bowery Ballroom are *not* part of the Bowery Presents network, but yeah, the homogeny point still stands). Marleah and James are offering the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover any show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you want)!

Singer, songwriter and pianist Ben Thornewill started his band, Jukebox The Ghost, with two friends in 2003 when he was in college at George Washington University. “From day one we were just kind of making it up,” he says. He adds “It’s the same three members from the very beginning and everything is a series of great compromises.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that. He says, “It tends out to work out to something that defines who we are.” The power pop trio features piano, guitar, and drums. Their songs are clever, catchy, poppy, joyful, sometimes dramatic, and often tinged with elements of classical and even musical theater. As he tells it, “We are the exception to the rule because we have all been making a living as a band for over a decade...there’s only three of so we don’t have to pay for a bass player. A bass player would have bankrupted us a long time ago.” I met Ben earlier this year during the first of a series of solo shows he was doing, alone at the piano. He made a point from the stage of talking about how part of what he was doing was improvising but rather than doing it in a jazz or blues idiom, he was doing it using more classical cadences. The open and outward embrace of classical music into contemporary pop was intriguing to me. We talked about what it means to be successful, maintaining a productive and creative life, the existential crisis of coming off the road, putting in the work, introducing classical elements into pop music, and the importance of Bourbon to Kentuckians.   Thanks for listening.

FeedBack w. Wes Nyle. EP16. Jukebox The Ghost. 06.22.12One year shy of a decade as a band, Ben Thornewill, Tom Siegel, and Jesse Kristin, should revel in the idea that only a few young bands have become as successful in such a short time.Meeting in 2003 while attending George Washington University, this group would change styles and names only once, landing and sticking on the Captain Beefheart lyrically inspired name of Jukebox the Ghost.Only a few years later the group would be touring with piano powerhouse Ben Folds, and by 2009 would be creating their 2nd release Everything Under the Sun and later would be headlining their own concerts.Their latest album Safe Travels exposes maturity from a band that started when the average age of this three piece was 19 and a half. Hitting on topics of major life changes; good and bad, the lyrics of this June 12th release, hold nostalgic with dark lyrical undertones, breaded with falsettos, and pop piano/ guitar techniques that advances the band musically without accusations of selling out.Right now for the low price of your Email address you can download the bands new single Oh Emily, directly from their website. And for any skeptics here is yet another amazing piece of art from a band that shows no signs of slowing down their awesomeness.This is Jukebox The Ghost.Tracks Heard In This Podcast:Hold It InUnder My SkinHalf CrazySomebodyOh Emily - Close
