Jukebox the Ghost is an American three-piece power pop band formed in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

In 2003, Thornewill, Siegel, and Kristin met while attending George Washington University,[2] and formed a band called The Sunday Mail.

The name was a combination of words chosen democratically, with "jukebox" originating from the lyrics of a Captain Beefheart song and "ghost" as a reference to a Nabokov novel.

[4] In 2008, they released their first album, Let Live & Let Ghosts which was recorded during winter break of their senior year of college.

September 1, 2010, marked a major milestone for the band, as they appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Jukebox The Ghost also was a featured band on another Sixthman Cruise, "Rombello", in September 2011, and toured with Guster soon after.

In an interview with Jukebox the Ghost, Ben Thornewill stated that "this record has a lot of songs that are directly from our own life experience.

On January 21, 2015, the band announced they had signed with preeminent pop alternative label Cherrytree Records.

[8] On March 6, 2017, after nearly three years on tour leave from recording, the group released the single, "Stay the Night".
