The Hot Sardines’ self-titled debut album, named by iTunes as one of the best jazz albums of 2014, spent more than a year on the Billboard Jazz Chart, debuting in the top 10 alongside Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. Bandleader Evan Palazzo and lead singer Elizabeth Bougerol met in 2007 and bonded over their love for Fats Waller. With musical influences of such greats as Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday, they began playing open mic nights and small gigs. By 2011, they headlined Midsummer Night Swing at New York’s Lincoln Center. Now they boast performances at the most revered venues all over the world. The Hot Sardines’ energetic and electrifying shows include music first made famous decades ago that now comes alive through their brassy horn arrangements, rollicking piano melodies, and vocals from a chanteuse who transports listeners to a different era with the mere lilt of her voice. Oh….and they tap dance too!
