Laura Cortese and her band the Dance Cards  pair sophisticated string arrangements with rich vocal harmonies and incorporate 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.

Their latest album Bitter Better is a stunning lesson in all the ways string instruments can be played…and a challenge to prevent yourself dancing!
