Bandleader Evan Palazzo and lead singer Elizabeth Bougerol met in 2007 after they each answered a Craigslist ad for a jazz jam session to be held above a Manhattan noodle shop. A few years later, their group was named one of the “best jazz bands in New York” by Forbes. The Hot Sardines’ 2014 self-titled debut album spent more than a year on the Billboard Jazz Chart, debuting in the top 10 alongside Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.
