Doors: 7pm | Studio
Laura Cortese & Bert Ruymbeek capture the atmosphere of meaningful moments and turn them into memorable tales of sound, sometimes with lyrics, sometimes instrumental.
Laura Cortese has built a distinguished career as an Americana fiddler, songwriter and vocalist. She grew up in San Francisco, CA and moved to Boston, MA to study. In 2018 she moved to Ghent Belgium. She tours internationally with her band, Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards, and is highly in demand as a collaborator. Bert Ruymbeek is an accordion player from Ghent whose groovy energy and lyrical playing is influenced by Northern-European folk music. He tours internationally with WÖR, a quintet that re-interprets 18th century music from Belgium and regularly takes part in several projects.
