“One of the most delightfully energetic bands on New York’s ‘hot’ music scene”
— DownBeat

Step into the golden age of jazz with The Hot Sardines, the genre-defying ensemble that brings the spirit of New York speakeasies roaring back to life.

Launched by cofounders Elizabeth Bougerol (vocals) and Evan Palazzo (piano), the ensemble grew from underground parties in Brooklyn to touring worldwide, selling out Carnegie Hall, and recording a string of albums with more than 60 million streams, Now, The Hot Sardines deliver their “potent and assured” (The New York Times) evening of reinvigorated classic jazz at The Conrad. With brassy horns, rollicking piano, and irresistible vocals by Bougerol, this evening of vintage jazz–with a few holiday numbers sprinkled throughout—is sure to be an electrifying live-music experience.
