About The Hot Sardines

Celebrate the season with The Hot Sardines and their festive concert, Holiday Stomp! Known for bringing fresh energy to classic jazz, the internationally acclaimed ensemble blends spirited piano, vibrant horns, and captivating vocals with the charm of vintage swing.

Led by vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol and pianist Evan Palazzo, The Hot Sardines draw inspiration from jazz legends including Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Their lively performances have earned them an international following and more than 60 million streams.

Holiday Stomp brings that signature sound to seasonal favorites including “White Christmas,” “Blue Christmas,” “Mistletoe and Holly,” and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” Inspired by beloved holiday films such as White Christmas and It’s a Wonderful Life, the show delivers an evening filled with nostalgia, playful rhythms, and holiday cheer.
