Holiday Season 2022 - Holiday Concert: The Hot Sardines

Monday December 12, 2022

Noel and I went to go see The Hot Sardines for a holiday show at the Dakota. Lead singer Elizabeth Bougerol is a woman after my own heart. . .

She sipped a martini through most of their set.

Most, although not all, of the numbers in the set were holiday themed. Mistletoe and Holly was one of the songs they performed. Noel and I were both surprised to learn that Frank Sinatra was a co-writer of the lyrics. 

Our seats were fantastic. We were up against the stage and right next to the trombone player. You can see how close by the picture I got of his feet.

And the base of his mic stand. He was a nice guy who bantered with us on a couple of occasions during the performance. As the show was ending he told us what great audience members we were. 

The performance was at the Dakota in downtown Minneapolis which looked magical on a somewhat mild and pleasant winter December night.
