Two-time Grammy® Award Winners, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer are master musicians with a career spanning over 35 years. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar, five-string banjo, ukulele, mandolin, cello-banjo, and more. Their repertoire ranges from classic country to western swing, gypsy jazz to bluegrass, and old-time string band to contemporary folk (including some original gems).
Cathy & Marcy have performed at hundreds of bluegrass and folk festivals and taught at close to 100 music camps worldwide. Happily known as social music conductors ready to start a jam session, a community sing, or create a music camp helping others learn to play and sing, the duos past students include Kaki King and Rhiannon Giddens.
They have performed with Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel, Tom Paxton, Patsy Montana, Riders in the Sky, and a wide range of musical luminaries. They have entertained the Queen of Thailand, been keynote singers for the AFL-CIO, appeared on the Today Show and on National Public Radio. The Washington Area Music Association has recognized the duo with over 60 WAMMIE Awards for folk, bluegrass, and childrens music. Cathy & Marcy advocate in Washington for unions, health care for children, and the rights and livelihoods of artists.
The duo has toured worldwide, from Japan to New Zealand, Vancouver to New York, South Africa to Israel and everywhere in between. Recent festivals and venues include Merlefest, Wintergrass, Denver Ukefest, and Kate Wolf Music Festival. American Voices Abroad chose Cathy & Marcy with fiddler Barbara Lamb to perform in China, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. Department of State.
Cathy & Marcy earned Grammy Awards for their recordings cELLAbration: a Tribute to Ella Jenkins: and Bon Appetit!: Musical Food Fun. Their CDs Postcards and Banjo Talkin were GRAMMY finalists in the Best Traditional Folk Album category.
