The Hot Sardines

The Hot Sardines are co-founded by Elizabeth Bougerol (vocals, storytelling) and Evan Palazzo (piano, onstage bandleading), with an ensemble that includes a deep bench of some of the finest traditional jazz musicians in the United States today. Their music draws from the hot jazz of Louis Armstrong, the stride piano of Fats Waller, the smoky glamour of Parisian cabarets, and the rollicking energy of New Orleans — reanimated for a contemporary audience that, it turns out, has been waiting for exactly this.
