*SOLD OUT* Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards in concert
Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards combine the best elements of folk, rock & roll, Cajun, bluegrass and pop. This dynamic quartet is led by California-born singer, songwriter and fiddle player Laura Cortese. With sophisticated string arrangements and rich vocal harmonies complementing Cortese's powerful voice, the Dance Cards are a seriously impressive live act, whether on a large festival stage or in an intimate club.
Laura Cortese grew up in San Francisco and moved to Boston to study violin at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music. She has since enjoyed a busy career as a solo artist, band leader and guest instrumentalist. Jenna Moynihan (fiddle) and Valerie Thompson (cello) are also graduates of Berklee College. Moynihan is an acclaimed fiddler whose style is rooted in the Scottish tradition, with Appalachian influences. Cellist-composer Thompson grew up a classical cellist, and in her teens she supplemented her formal cello studies by studying Irish step-dance and American clogging. The three core members of the Dance Cards will be joined by a guest double bassist for their UK tour.
