34 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY NOVEMBER 21-27, 2024 www.montereycountynow.com Send ideas to calendar@montereycountynow.com HOT PICKS JUKEBOX MONEY Over a decade ago, pianist Scott Bradlee came up with a novel idea down in his Queens basement: What would today’s hits sound like remade in the classic sounds of yesterday? He turned Miley Cyrus into The Platters, Bruno Mars into Frank Sinatra and The Spice Girls into The Andrews Sisters. Postmodern Jukebox was born and it’s still going strong in concerts all over the world and YouTube videos— more recently PMJ morphed Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” into a 1960s Leslie Gore-style pop song to great effect. The group describes itself as “one part celebration of vintage music and culture, one part Saturday Night Live for singers.” It’s a fund trip back in time that’s worth your time. [PM] 8pm Saturday, Nov. 23. Golden State Theatre, 417 Alvarado St., Monterey. $55-$188. 6491070, goldenstatetheatre.com. Sunday, Nov. 24 CELTIC MYSTERY The next production in St. Mary’s Celtic music series is Kalos. Ryan McKasson, Eric McDonald and Jeremiah McLane are masters of tradition who purposefully explore the dark corners floating on its edges. Their individual artistry is enhanced when they come together. The result is an alluring complexity, full of spontaneous musicality. Pulling from parallel strands of influence, they set the standard for traditional repertoire with an underlying drive and pulse charged with rhythmic electricity, culminating in a swirling level of intensity. An air of mystery and adventure pervades a sound compelling enough to transcend boundaries and appeal to music lovers of all stripes. [AP] 3pm Sunday, Nov. 24. St. Mary’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 146 12th St., Pacific Grove. $30/in advance; $35/at the door. 3734441, celticsociety.org. Thursday, Nov. 28 LAP IT UP The average American loads up on well over 3,000 calories during Thanksgiving dinner. Fortunately, it’s a scientific fact—we think—that a lap on foot around WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca burns just as many calories. So two laps, and you’re well into diet territory (if we’re right, that is). And for Thanksgiving Turkey Trot at the famed track, you can do as many laps as you want, walking, jogging— you won’t be running once you hit the Rahal Straight (but you might be, involuntarily, as you careen down the Corkscrew). Even if we have nutritional science all wrong, a few laps can’t hurt before the caloric onslaught to come. Two things make it even better: It’s family- and dog-friendly (dogs on a leash), and the required donation of a non-perishable food item or $10 goes straight to the Food Bank for Monterey County. So it’s all good. [DF] 7-11am Thursday, Nov. 28. WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, 1021 Highway 68, Salinas. $10 or non-perishable food item. 242-8201, weathertechraceway.com.
