"With a record-breaking Bubblepalooza! And Trailer Food Tuesday under our belt, we're excited to announce that the world-famous jazz band THE HOT SARDINES has joined the All Summer Long lineup for an event of dancing, great music, and celebrating the summer." -Long Center.

Summer Hot Swing with the Hot Sardines will one of the highlights of All Summer Long this year.

The Long Center's City Terrace, Meredith Family Stage in Dell Hall and Rollins Studio Theatre provide the perfect setting for this community-wide celebration of Summer...perfect for friends, family, first dates and more!

Summer Night Swing with the Hot Sardines

Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-the-boys frontwoman with a voice from another era, and you have the Hot Sardines. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the concert, or step up onstage and be part of the action! Either way, there's no better, or more fun way to spend a summer night in Austin.
