THE HOT SARDINES IN CONCERT:
In just a few short years, The Hot Sardines have gone from NYC underground favorite to international sensation with their fun, fresh take on golden age jazz. The music's spirit may hail from another era, but this ain't your grandparents' jazz -- the talented combo breathe new life into the classics with their foot-stomping energy, technical chops, and a willingness to take risks (live tap dancing, anyone?) that make their live shows both unpredictable and thrilling. From the blustering brass and skittering piano to the French musical influences of Paris-born frontwoman "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol, The Hot Sardines offer up an eclectic and electric concert experience ticket buyers can't get anywhere else.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Hot Sardines formed in Manhattan in the early 2010s after bandleader Evan "Bibs" Palazzo and singer "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol met via Craigslist and began jamming together. The two instantly clicked over their love of music from the '20s and '30s, and before long they had assembled a talented group of musicians for their Sardine ensemble. The Hot Sardines released their debut album Shanghai'd in 2011, quickly taking the NYC jazz scene by storm with their adventurous sound and wild live shows. By 2012 they were performing to crowds of thousands in Paris, where they represented New York at the Festival d'Ile de France. Legendary performers who've released several acclaimed live albums and earned high praise from Forbes Magazine as "one of the best jazz bands in NYC today" by Forbes Magazine, The Hot Sardines continue to wow with their creative sound and unforgettable sets on tour.
