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.

Tickets for this event go on sale to Members on Thursday, May 21 at 10:00 am EST and on sale to the Public on Tuesday, May 26 at 10:00 am EST.

Support the Weinberg

The Weinberg Center is an institution of value to Frederick. It is a vital part of the economic life of Downtown Frederick, attracting more than 85,000 patrons annually who visit shops, restaurants, and local stores. Furthermore, the Weinberg provides educational programs to over 8,000 Frederick county school children each year. And the Weinberg continues to bring world-class performing artists to the heart of downtown Frederick for our community to enjoy. We are committed to keeping ticket prices affordable for our community. So to cover the costs of the arts we present, the Weinberg — like theaters nationally — must find other sources of support. Please consider making a contribution to this historic theater.
