Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a Fats Waller-style stride piano virtuoso, toss in a tap dancer, and tie the whole thing together with a magnetic, one-of-the-boys front woman whose voice recalls another era, and you have the Hot Sardines ? a band that plays the hot trad jazz and sultry standards of the 1920s, ?30s and ?40s with a Parisian accent and a dash of the rich Dixieland sounds of New Orleans. Fans of Pink Martini and the Squirrel Nut Zippers: you?re gonna love the Hot Sardines! Join us for a pre-concert ?Speak-Easy? party in the lobby with cash bar starting at 6:30 p.m. Dress to impress for the period and win a prize.
