Laura Cortese

Highly-regarded American fiddler and smokey-voiced singer-songwriter Laura Cortese and her band, expand on the boundaries of what an indie-folk band can be – pairing sophisticated string arrangements with rich vocal harmonies and incorporating an edgy pop sensibility, to create a bold and elegant sound, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger.
