The Hot Sardines

Join Parisian vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol and New York pianist-bandleader Evan Palazzo on a joyous trip through France’s love affair with (and enduring influence on) jazz!

After a decade of “simply phenomenal” (The Times UK) shows from Montreal to Newport with 70 million Spotify streams, a sold-out 2024 Carnegie Hall debut and a fifth weeklong residency at Birdland, powerhouse jazz revivalists The Hot Sardines, backed by the Musicfest Pops Ensemble, bring their unique French-American sound to the stage. The Sardines celebrate gallic icons from Django Reinhardt to Edith Piaf, put their own spin on the Great American Songbook’s enduring tributes to the City of Lights, and follow jazz’s French roots to New Orleans, bringing a brass-heavy bon temps party into the aisles.  Concert selections to include “I Love Paris,” “La Vie en Rose,” “Bei Mir Bist du Schoen,” ”Les Yeux Ouverts/Dream a Little Dream” and other classics.
