The Hot Sardines live in New York

Experience The Hot Sardines live on September 30th

The Hot Sardines will perform at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 30, 2026. The Hot Sardines are a modern jazz ensemble specializing in hot jazz, early swing, and Parisian-inspired sounds of the 1920s and 30s. Their performances frequently incorporate elements of Dixieland, ragtime, and vocal harmonies reminiscent of artists like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The band gained prominence through busking in New York City subways and has since released several albums receiving critical acclaim for their energetic live shows and dedication to preserving a vintage musical style.

Birdland Marina is a relatively recent addition to the legacy of the historic Birdland Jazz Club. Originally founded in 1949, Birdland was a landmark venue for jazz music, hosting legendary performers like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. Following its closure in 1965, the name was revived in various forms. Birdland Marina opened in 2024 as an expansion of the Birdland brand offering a waterfront performance space with views of the Hudson River. It aims to continue the tradition of showcasing high-quality jazz while providing a unique setting for audiences.
