Glamorous and gritty, brassy and cool, The Hot Sardines are hailed “one of the most delightfully energetic bands on New York’s ‘hot’ music scene” (Downbeat Magazine). With two albums released to critical acclaim and a No. 1 slot on the iTunes jazz chart, The Hot Sardines stand apart for their innovation, verve, and sheer charisma. Whether effortlessly channeling New York speakeasies, Parisian cabarets, or New Orleans jazz halls, this snappy group brings people together with a joyful sound. “These are uncertain times,” says vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol. “When everything seems hopeless, throw a party!”
