Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards
Singer-songwriter violinist with cello and violin
Tickets $15 adults & $13 members & students
Welding the propulsive grace of ancient fiddle styles to disarmingly open-hearted original pop songs, Laura Cortese has emerged among the most intriguing and versatile, musicians in the bountiful New England post-folk scene. At home in any number of traditional styles, her highly-visible work as a supporting musician (on fiddle, vocals, and bass) includes appearances with Uncle Earl, Tao Seeger, Band of Horses, and – as part of Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden – Patterson Hood and Michael Franti. The past two years have found Cortese in creative overdrive, balancing sideman duties, solo tours, and recording sessions with an increased devotion to her own music: a kaleidoscopic hybrid that is enriched by roots music undertones and yet remains defiantly contemporary. Laura Cortese tours internationally with her string trio newly dubbed The Dance Cards and featuring Mariel Vandersteel on fiddle/hardangerfiddle and Valerie Thompson on cello.
Tickets at Wildberries Market, Wildwood Music or 822-1575 to reserve.
