Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and lead singer “Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol along with polished musical collective and tap dancer are The Hot Sardines. The band’s sophomore studio album, French Fries & Champagne, will be released this Friday, June 17 on Decca. The band effortlessly harkens back to a time of New York speakeasies, Parisian cabarets and New Orleans jazz halls, with striking originals such as album title track “French Fries & Champagne”, as well as covers—including a duet with Alan Cumming for a mischievous take on “When I Get Low, I Get High ,” a song popularized by Ella Fitzgerald. The cinematic“When I Get Low, I Get High ” video features the award-winning Alan Cumming and premiered with The New York Times today.

The band have been out on the road showcasing their captivating live show in support of French Fries & Champagne and will kick off a second run of dates which includes Central Park Summerstage, Newport Jazz Festival and much more. Their sold out show at New York City’s famed Joe’s Pub last night was capped off by a surprise appearance by Cumming during the band’s encore. Fans will have the opportunity to experience their mesmerizing live performance by listening to the WFUV “In The Studio” session hosted by Rita Houston airing Friday, June 24 at 8pm. (Houston was also on hand at Joe’s Pub to introduce the band). The band will also be featured on NPR Weekend Edition on Saturday, June 25. Full list of dates below or click HERE.

French Fries & Champagne comes on the heels of The Hot Sardines’ critically lauded self-titled debut album, which was named one of iTunes’ best jazz albums of 2014 and spent more than a year on the Billboard Jazz Chart, debuting in the top 10 alongside Michael Bublé and Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga. Produced by Eli Wolf (Elvis Costello, Norah Jones), the collection celebrates the duality of The Hot Sardines with the album title reflecting both their glamor and their grit.
