The Hot Sardines Return to Downtown Frederick
Emerging a decade ago from the underground parties of Brooklyn to touring worldwide and recording a string of albums that have racked up more than 60 million streams, The Hot Sardines’ own “potent and assured” (The New York Times), “simply phenomenal” (The Times, London) brand of reinvigorated classic jazz landed them at the center of a whirlwind.
In 2024, co-founders Elizabeth Bougerol (vocals) and Evan Palazzo (piano) debuted the Sardines’ new project at Carnegie Hall, selling out within hours. Banned Jazz is a celebration of joy as an act of resistance and the unifying power of music, recounting how political forces in the U.S. and Europe tried (and failed) to suppress the music of Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Benny Goodman, and more with its messages of cultural, racial, and sexual freedom.
The Sardines’ latest recording is C’est La Vie, a bilingual affair of vintage jazz standards and originals. The title track, a Bossa nova original in French, is a timely ode to fully living each moment, even when you don’t know what the next will bring.
The Hot Sardines continue to tour, taking Banned Jazz on the road starting in 2025, and continuing into 2026. Learn more about the band on their official website.
