About the Artist

Laura Cortese might best be described as a sonic magpie: a curious and resourceful adventurer traversing great distances, collecting melodies and rhythms that glitter like jewels in the sun. Driven by the gravitational pull of human connection, her tendency towards exploration and collaboration have led her into countless niches, each providing its own unique feather with which to decorate her distinct and ever-evolving sound. But all of these explorations have one thing in common: the power of strings. This may seem limiting to some. To her, it is anything but. “Strings are at the core of what I do,” she says. “Genre is secondary to that palate.” A master-fiddler, Laura will be joined by fellow Dance Card musicians on cello and stand up bass for a transcendent live performance!

Opening this show will be Irish Millie, a multi Canadian Folk Music Awards winner who wowed our audience at our 2024 Intimate Acoustics emerging artist lineup! Visit Irish Millie’s website here.
