Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards

SVMoA

Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards have a vision for their band’s sound: bold and elegant, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. Performing as a trio with Valerie Thompson on cello and Isa Burke on guitar/fiddle (known for her work with Lula Wiles and Aoife O’Donovan), these women produce music centered on the virtuosic string instrumentation of its members tied together by driving rhythms, broad creative vision, and resonant harmonies.
