The Hot Sardines: Aug. 7

Called “one of the best jazz bands in New York City today” by ForbesMagazine, the Hot Sardines have reinvigorated the hot jazz movement by adding a hip, modern twist to the sounds of New York speakeasies, Parisian cabarets, and New Orleans jazz halls. Led by bandleader and pianist Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and lead singer “Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol, combined with the Sardine ensemble of powerhouse musicians – and their very own tap dancer – music first made famous decades ago comes alive. Called “simply phenomenal” by The Times ( London), they have been featured at the Newport Jazz Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival and released two albums to critical raves.
