The Hot Sardines at Birdland Jazz Club

The Hot Sardines have emerged from the Brooklyn neo-speakeasies where they got their start to make a global name for themselves playing hot jazz as it was in the era when live music was king, bridging generations and captivating 21st-century audiences.

The group, led by frontwoman Elizabeth Bougerol and piano player Evan Palazzo, emphasizes both authenticity and irreverence in their performances. They've been described as “potent and assured” by The New York Times and have notched more than a year on the Billboard Jazz chart and 60 million streams on Spotify.

Attendees can expect a lively night of hot jazz, with the band's infectious energy and vintage-inspired sound. The Sardines have guested on NPR’s Weekend Edition and CBS Saturday Morning, and have performed at major jazz festivals including Newport, Montreal, and Toronto.
