'Simply phenomenal, crisp musicianship going hand in hand with immaculate and witty showmanship' The Times

Take a blustery brass front line, add salty stride piano and a front woman with the attitude and style of a 30s cabaret diva and you have The Hot Sardines in a seashell.

Bandleader and pianist Evan'Bibs' Palazzo and lead singer Miz Elizabeth combine with the Sardine ensemble of powerhouse musicians to create a sound that's steeped in hot jazz and gypsy swing: a taste of the Prohibition era through the Great Depression, WWII and beyond. The outfit encompasses brass, a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and Miz Elizabeth's singing a voice that harkens back to another era, yet feels refreshingly modern. Fusing musical influences from New York, Paris and New Orleans; The Hot Sardines play hot jazz as it was in the era when live music was king.
