“The most foot-stomping, raucous jazz band in the world.”—The Music Playground

The Wall Street Journal calls the Hot Sardines “high-energy traditional jazz with a Parisian accent.” The collective, including a blustery brass lineup and a just-one-of-the-boys front-woman, creates music reminiscent of wartime Paris via New Orleans: a sound steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong used to make. This is straight-up, foot-stomping jazz from a near-century ago that stays resolutely in step with the current age.
