Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards at Running Horse

Date: Thur 5th May
Time: 20:00

Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards will be playing at The Running Horse on Thursday 5th May

Laura has a vision for her 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. It's easy to understand why they call themselves Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards

Growing up in San Francisco and moving to Boston to study violin at Berklee College of Music, Laura has immersed herself in the city's vibrant indie music scene and enjoyed a busy sideman career.
With sophisticated string arrangements and rich vocal harmonies added to her poignant and powerful singing, you get the sense that they might snap some fiddle strings or punch a hole in the bass drum. This is post-folk that seriously rocks.

True to their adventurous spirit and wide-ranging influences, the group was selected from a pool of 400 bands to tour with the US State Department's American Music Abroad program, to perform and teach as artist ambassadors. Such a mission was perfect for this band, whose music communicates the depth and soul of American roots music, using their own uniquely modern voices.

If you believe that actions do in fact speak louder than words, to get a real feel of what this musician is all about, have a look and listen to the atmospheric and hypnotic “Into The Dark” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi27j4558oY&feature=youtu.be and gentle love song “California” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIRe2qEn18A&feature=youtu.be

Get ready for Laura’s unique and creative interpretation on a wide range of musical traditions and with The Most Ugly Child and Andy Whittle also stepping on stage, the 5th May is going to be a very special night in the Cities live music calendar!
