The Hot Sardines

Holiday Stomp - A Yuletide Blend Of Hot Jazz

4545 N Lincoln Ave · The Myron R. Szold Music & Dance Hall · 773.728.6000


Be a part of this raucous, Hot Club Holiday celebration featuring timeless classics and original tunes including swinging renditions of The Nutcracker Suite and White Christmas.

“These are times that need live music. And I don't know of anything that brings people together like the joy of hearing traditional jazz live,” says Elizabeth Bougerol, co-leader of The Hot Sardines, with pianist and bandleader, Evan Palazzo. These mischief-makers of hot jazz have been described as “potent and assured” (The New York Times) and “simply phenomenal” (The Times, London), with more than a year on the Billboard Jazz chart and 20+ million streams on Spotify (over 90 countries). The timing couldn't be better for their next live album, Welcome Home, Bon Voyage.

“Everything in our DNA is about connecting with the audience. That's where we feel most at home,” says Elizabeth, of playing live with the eight-piece band (including one wildly percussive tap dancer). The Sardines have gone from speakeasies and underground parties in Brooklyn, to festival crowds of 25,000 and a TV debut on Later…with Jools Holland. “That's where jazz lives,” adds Evan. “In the playing, in sharing that experience, in coming together to create a moment that won't happen again.”
