Holy crap, it's that dude from that one season of American Idol years ago that I couldn't believe got cut! (Yes, I seriously remember him, he was that good.) So glad to hear he has a music career!
Yea, I started to remember him from Idol and I never watch it... just started browsing some of their youtube clips a few months back and he was a standout among them.
Check out our latest Postmodern Jukebox remake, featuring the incredible and very soulful Casey Abrams! Catch him performing with us tonight at Hyde Sunset in West Hollywood. I'm Not the Only One - Vintage New Orleans - Style Sam Smith Cover ft. Casey Abrams
I'm a huge fan of you guys. I love what you guys do with modern pop songs, but I hope I'm not out of line when I say that your recent covers have been losing the touch you guys had when you just started. What was awesome before, for me, was that even if you guys changed the style, the songs never changed emotions - happy songs stayed happy, somber songs stayed somber, and so on. I hope you guys keep making awesome covers, because you guys really are awesome. Thanks for keeping old styles alive.
I can't stop smiling when I watch this! Casey IS the embodiment of the music. He performance is infectious and he makes the other musicians rise to a whole 'nother level. You can see it in their faces they are feeling the music radiating from his enthusiasm and I'm feeling it with them!
Wow! I think this is the first PMJ video that you can see all of the musicians in the video at the same time! ;) But seriously, loved this cover, Casey Abrams is a brilliant bassist and vocalist!
I love it when musicians get that vibe going. Whatever style or genre, when the folks making the music are functioning as one unit. I think this qualifies. As my first day as a PMJ fan, this is my favorite
In fifth grade everyone at my school had to start an instrument, and while trying to decide what to play I happened to be watching American Idol with my mom when Casey Abrams did his piece with the bass and I knew "THIS IS IT!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE F^$@!*# INSTRUMENT I MUST PLAY!!!!!!!!". Since then my bass, Casey Jr (YES I NAMED MY STANDUP BASS DON'T JUDGE ME) and I have lived happily ever after.
I swear this is the kind of people we need in the world who just love the shit out of what they're doing and just ooze enthusiasm and a love of what they're doing.
I remember when I saw Casey’s American idol audition and thought “this guy is the guy I want to win” I swear one of the only auditions that I remember from all the seasons. Truly talented!!!
Can't stop listening to this. Mr. Abrams just pumps so much into his performance. Love it. Also love the way the drummer can't help but smile. I feel the same way.
I highly recommend that you utilize Casey Abrams again in the future. He is VERY good and I have been listening to this song over and over since I found it.
I cannot stress enough how much of a class act PMJ are. I am yet to hear a weak musician among you not to mention the originality and creativity of all of your arrangements. Love the energy and love the enthusiasm you all bring to the music. Possibly my favourite music channel going on youtube at the moment. Keep up the amazing work guys!
I must admit that i thought the first few seconds were a bit boring, but then... WOW!! was I wrong !! Casey Abrams is amazing, and you guys gave a briliant show here. Keep it up
So, they made an AMAZING sad, emotional song into a New Orleans upbeat, playful AMAZING song... don't know whether I should be extremely joyful or extremely conflicted XD But anyway, PMJ, you are awesome. You make the best music, and this is one that really shined to ME. I love both versions, they are extremely different in attitude but the same in quality! Good job
Wow that was amazing. Casey is still amazing (of course) and he still look as passionate for singing since I saw him in American Idol and until now. He even made Chip (the drummer) happy and giddy. This cover made me extremely happy! :)
I'm the first fan of PostModernJukebox and sometimes they produce things really better than all the rest : This song is one of these (also Rude with Von Smith or even Careless Whisper)
There are no words that can explain how much I love this, absolutely amazing, I've had his voice and this song stuck I'm my head all day. This is greatly appreciated all.
OK…addicted at first listen! So glad to discover you, and am a longtime fan of Casey Abrams! Perfect match! In addition, I will gladly join the Haley Reinhart fans on here who think she would be a perfect fit with PMJ, especially since she and Casey have been nearly inseparable since meeting on Idol. She has great jazz/ rock cred like Montreaux, Umbria, Lollapalooza, Carnegie Hall (with Casey on bass!), and frequent guest vocalist for Irvin Mayfield Jr.’s New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. Classic rock runs in her veins, and these two together own The Great American Song Book for their generation. Separately, they’re awesome; together they are off the chart!
I LOVED Casey on AI!! I stopped watching after his season 'cause I just got tired of truly talented people getting booted while interchangeable semi-talented people kept going through. I think this might be my favorite of all your videos so far, and yep, I've watched about 90% of them. I love you guys, I use your playlists while I'm doing schoolwork. Although, sometimes I have to stop working so I can watch Tambourine Guy. Sorry! LOVE HIM. He makes me so happy. :)
I'll be your hype-woman co48ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The drummer really makes me smile! He's so into it! :)
He really is!
+Dean Clark he's hot too :)
+Dean Clark I was about to say the same thing!
+Dean Clark So in love w/ him.
Now I want to be a drummer hehe! :)
The drummers cheeky little smiles, best guy.
Holy crap, it's that dude from that one season of American Idol years ago that I couldn't believe got cut! (Yes, I seriously remember him, he was that good.) So glad to hear he has a music career!
Yea, I started to remember him from Idol and I never watch it... just started browsing some of their youtube clips a few months back and he was a standout among them.
He did a sweet cover of "Why Don't you do Right"
Yeah Casey Abrams is still around and I hope he has a new album come out. I love his "simple life" song! :)
he thought he's gone n had a panic attack when they used the save on top 11. that's my AI memory of him besides his amazing soulful voice
remember him too! Loved him then and still do!

I'm Not the Only One - Vintage New Orleans - Style Sam Smith Cover ft. Casey Abrams
Saw PMJ in Napa last night,they are AWESOME!!!! We had a blast!!
Please bring him to London!

FlowersInHisHair
Please bring him to Bosnia
FUCKING AMAZING
Woah! It's twaimz!! Your vines are hilarious
couldn't agree more
+1
i can imagine u dancing to this tbh lmao
TWAIMMZZ ! ILYSM !
You can tell even the band was enjoying this ending especially by the drummer's smile. Awesome job!
I honestly don't think that I'll ever see someone with tied-back hair, a blazer, business trousers, sport shoes and a double bass again
I would agree, but Casey and my cousin might as well be twins
You've never been to music school then 😎👉 (or at least a music school in Richmond)
Too much of a soy-boy look for me - but he is talented.
S O Y B O Y
Well not until they have Casey on again.
I can't stop smiling when I watch this! Casey IS the embodiment of the music. He performance is infectious and he makes the other musicians rise to a whole 'nother level. You can see it in their faces they are feeling the music radiating from his enthusiasm and I'm feeling it with them!
I demand more Casey.
2:53-3:20 The drummer's reaction is me the whole time :D
Go Casey & Jacob! Killed it! This channel cranks out the BEST videos!
Casey is just rediculously talented!
Wow! I think this is the first PMJ video that you can see all of the musicians in the video at the same time! ;) But seriously, loved this cover, Casey Abrams is a brilliant bassist and vocalist!
I'll bet the tamborine guy is hiding behind the piano, just to spite you ;)
***** He's actually perfectly behind the upright bass :b
Casey is effing amazing.
The best cover by far!! Casey Abrams is absolutely stunning, brilliant, amazing - there aren't enough words. I think I just died.
I love it when musicians get that vibe going. Whatever style or genre, when the folks making the music are functioning as one unit. I think this qualifies. As my first day as a PMJ fan, this is my favorite
So damn good, I worry about style like Casey's dying out, refreshing to see someone like Casey sticking to his roots! What a legend.
The drummer looks so happy 😊
In fifth grade everyone at my school had to start an instrument, and while trying to decide what to play I happened to be watching American Idol with my mom when Casey Abrams did his piece with the bass and I knew "THIS IS IT!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE F^$@!*# INSTRUMENT I MUST PLAY!!!!!!!!". Since then my bass, Casey Jr (YES I NAMED MY STANDUP BASS DON'T JUDGE ME) and I have lived happily ever after.
Beautiful. Same with my snare.
+Victoria Flanagan In middle school I played bass and I LOVED IT! It's so worth it!
Victoria Flanagan who doesnt name their own instruments? :/
Victoria Flanagan I named my trumpet "Donald Trump"
Named my alto sax Kinky Pickle
that voice is incredible omg.
Casey is an incredible performer, he's having so much fun and energy!!
This is about the 5 billionth time watching this and I must say that is one blazing hot trumpet solo by Mike Cottone!
I swear this is the kind of people we need in the world who just love the shit out of what they're doing and just ooze enthusiasm and a love of what they're doing.
Well, I'm an old timer clarinet man, and these tracks from Scott and the gang make me feel like 18 again. Bloody Marvellous!
Can we PLEASE have more Casey Abrams?! Fantastic
Casey abrahms is the best performer I've ever seen
I am in love with this man's voice! I mean DAMN!!! His Sweet Child O' Mine.... just WOW!!!
I remember when I saw Casey’s American idol audition and thought “this guy is the guy I want to win” I swear one of the only auditions that I remember from all the seasons. Truly talented!!!
Haha I LOVE how the drummer keeps on smiling at his voice! 😍
Can't stop listening to this. Mr. Abrams just pumps so much into his performance. Love it. Also love the way the drummer can't help but smile. I feel the same way.
Casey is seriously one of my favorite singers ever since I heard him for my 1st time
CASEY ABRAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pulling for him hard core on American Idol when he was on it. SO glad you got him to sing, that was GREAT.
The drummer is so adorably happy.
The drummer always cracking, uplifting as hell to see him, awesome :D
This dude is such a character. Fucking love his presence!
Casey Abrams is my favorite artist on this channel..
wooooooooowwwww!!!!! i just can say wow !
Great job Jacob!!!
Casey was always my favorite person to ever set foot on Idol. I am so glad you guys collaborated with him!
I love how Chip Thomas smiles admiringly at every singer in whichever video he's featured in!
He's officially my "feel good guy"! If I'm ever sad; all I gotta do is find a video of him! Casey Abrams is hilarious!
This has to be my favourite RUclips channel ever; not a single video that isn't absolutely wonderful.
Fantastic players all round. Chip Thomas on drums is toally cool and right in the pocket. Amazing piano licks too.
I highly recommend that you utilize Casey Abrams again in the future. He is VERY good and I have been listening to this song over and over since I found it.
You guys should Kevin and Avi from Pentatonix on here, their voices/talents would fit with this style of music so well!
Teamug96 how about all of them?
Casey Abrams is sooooo talented! Listening to him just makes me smile!!
This mans voice can heal the blind, bless.
I cannot stress enough how much of a class act PMJ are. I am yet to hear a weak musician among you not to mention the originality and creativity of all of your arrangements. Love the energy and love the enthusiasm you all bring to the music. Possibly my favourite music channel going on youtube at the moment.
Keep up the amazing work guys!
Now this is a SHOW!
You get amazing musicians, a GREAT singer and a DREAMY and UNREAL HAPPY mood! :-)
You're great PMJ! Keep it up!
Mike Cottone! How nice to see and hear you again! Love this terrific sound.
If you think this video is epic, wait until you hear that live in one of their concerts... It's some serious next level stuff!!
Kenny Meza So true. Had the pleasure of seeing them in Chicago. Casey was out of this world.
Can't wait! Another couple months...
love how selfless casey is, makes the whole thing that much more perfect
Why I'm so happy? Why Casey Abrams always makes me happy?
I must admit that i thought the first few seconds were a bit boring, but then... WOW!! was I wrong !! Casey Abrams is amazing, and you guys gave a briliant show here. Keep it up
PMJ! please i want more of this guy :O! he's awesome!
BRAVO! Fantastic! LOVE this guy - what a talent and a true original!
So, they made an AMAZING sad, emotional song into a New Orleans upbeat, playful AMAZING song... don't know whether I should be extremely joyful or extremely conflicted XD But anyway, PMJ, you are awesome. You make the best music, and this is one that really shined to ME. I love both versions, they are extremely different in attitude but the same in quality! Good job

American Idol finalist :) Cut waaaaay sooner than he should have been!
This is no doubt the best song I've heard from PMJ... Sorry Robyn xD
Last 30 seconds are pure gold !!
I love the drummer smile at the end of the song xD
I saw Casey sing this live today at Epcot and it was so amazing. His voice and energy are something else !
Wow that was amazing. Casey is still amazing (of course) and he still look as passionate for singing since I saw him in American Idol and until now. He even made Chip (the drummer) happy and giddy. This cover made me extremely happy! :)
I LOVE this Casey Adams guy!!! keep him in the new ones!
OH EMMM GEEEE! !!! This BLOWS my mind!!!! IM IM LOVE WITH THIS STYLE! This guy is UH MAZING! !
2:25 is utterly outstanding
I'm the first fan of PostModernJukebox and sometimes they produce things really better than all the rest : This song is one of these (also Rude with Von Smith or even Careless Whisper)
WTFFFFFFFFF Idol Snuff
I found Maps underrated
On t'aime Snuff !!!!

I think those 2 songs are also some of their best!!!
I love his manbun. LoL
What an incredible vocalist, accompanied by an equally incredible band!
Yes! Finally unlocked the drummer
Needs more Casey Abrams|! Seriously, he needs to release more video or songs, he definitely has the talent.
Casey Abrams is cool af.

There are no words that can explain how much I love this, absolutely amazing, I've had his voice and this song stuck I'm my head all day. This is greatly appreciated all.
Who can rock sneakers, a man bun, sweater pants and a regular shirt and still look classy
+Chelsea Wagner We think you know the answer to that ;)
+PostmodernJukebox YAS YOU REPLIED why no other than Casey XD
And also sing and play the bass and the piano (in another video).
not even this guy. that's what you meant, right? Or do you not share the common definition of class?
He does pull it off way too well
Good, good stuff 🤩
The drummer and tambourine guy should meet. It would be an explosion of happiness.
Vocals were on point, which made this the best postmodern jukebox in a while. It just ties everything together! A++++!! xxxx
OK…addicted at first listen! So glad to discover you, and am a longtime fan of Casey Abrams! Perfect match!

HOW HAS THIS NOT BROKEN 1M?
I wish there was a way that I could like this again...LOVE this version!
I LOVED Casey on AI!! I stopped watching after his season 'cause I just got tired of truly talented people getting booted while interchangeable semi-talented people kept going through. I think this might be my favorite of all your videos so far, and yep, I've watched about 90% of them. I love you guys, I use your playlists while I'm doing schoolwork. Although, sometimes I have to stop working so I can watch Tambourine Guy. Sorry! LOVE HIM. He makes me so happy. :)
Brilliant. That is GOLD! Congrats to all involved.
I used to watch him back when he was in American Idol, I voted for him, he shouldve won but look where he's now!
Seeing this guy so happy doing what he loves is honestly amazing. Is anyone else tempted to just give him a giant hug?
from the energy he's conveying, he's taking the fact that his wife cheated on him very well
Dustin Trinidad i sey you right
it takes one to know one ,...
I'll be your hype-woman co48ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rage has been redirected.
Damn man...
Love Casey's voice, and he can play bass!! Awesome combo!! PMJ...much love y'all I can't wait till the day that I'll get to see you guys live!!
