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 and 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 duo's past students include Kaki King and Rhiannon Giddens.
Cathy and 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.
