Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer ALI HASBACH TACY JUDD Folk, Roots & More Musical Traditions “As close to fawless folk/bluegrass as it gets.” — Billboard Magazine “Possibly the most popular act of the weekend was the American duo Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, who held a capacity crowd spellbound with their traditional and contemporary songs, and even the odd yodel.” — Western Leader, Auckland, NZ (The Auckland Folk Festival, New Zealand) “They are spellbinding acoustic musicians, with a rare mastery of American roots styles. Parents will be as entertained by the sublime musicianship and droll lyricism as kids are by all the musical mischief.” — The Boston Globe Christine Lavin wrote on her website following the Philly Folk Fest: “Marcy Marxer and Cathy Fink played a killer set on the big stage on Friday night. They played so fast their hands were a blur. They are two of the best performers you’ll see anywhere. Again, the crowd went wild.” Alisa C.

Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the acoustic & electric guitar, fve-string banjo, mandolin, cello banjo, ukulele, percussion and many other instruments. They are ready to engage and en- tertain audiences of all ages, with a broad following in family music and in American Roots styles. Equally at home at a Bluegrass festival, Folk festival, SARAH R. COATS Family concert or just about anywhere, audiences respond to their good humor, excellent musicianship and warm rapport. Their love of passing the music on has led them to direct several music camps and workshops, including the Ukulele & Guitar Summit at the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, MD. They’ve earned two GRAMMY® Awards for “cELLAbration: a Tribute to Ella Jenkins” and for “Bon Appétit!”. An additional 11 GRAMMY® nominations include their CDs, “Postcards” and “Banjo Talkin’ in the Best Traditional Folk Album category. They produced and performed on Tom Paxton’s GRAMMY® nominated “Live in the UK” CD and tour. Tom says, “Cathy & Marcy are at home in a dozen musical styles. They swing you, jazz you, and old timey you till you just give up and bliss out”. The C. F. Martin Company honored Cathy & Marcy’s musical achievements by creating a signature guitar for each of them, the M3H Cathy Fink Custom Signature Edition and the MC3H Marcy Marxer Custom Signature Edition. Marcy’s instrumental virtuosity has led to endorsements with Gold Tone Instruments (Marcy Marxer Model Cello Banjo), Kala Instruments (Marcy Marxer Model Tenor Ukulele), National Steel Guitars (prototype of frst Tenor Steel Guitar made since 1932) and Latin Percussion (full set of Congas and Latin Percussion instruments). Their recorded catalogue of CD’s, DVD’s and instructional materials includes an astounding 65 titles. Recognized as top-notch songwriters, they are multiple prizewinners in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, USA International Songwriting Contest and Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest. In their 30+ years performing together, the Washington Area Music Association has recognized Cathy & Marcy with over 60 WAMMIE Awards for folk, bluegrass and children’s music. What do The Savoy Family Cajun Band, Pete Seeger, Riders in the Sky, Si Kahn, Brave Combo, Mariachi Los Camperos, Mike Seeger, Patsy Montana, Tim O’Brien, Hot Rize and Ysaye Barnwell all have in common? They have all worked with Cathy & Marcy in the studio. Their skills have led to producing over 60 recordings by and with other artists, and to projects with National Geographic, AT&T, McGraw-Hill School Publishing, Handwriting Without Tears and numerous corporate clients who appreciate roots music values. Cathy & Marcy have performed at hundreds of bluegrass and folk festivals, appeared on the “Weekend Today Show”, “CBS Early Show”, National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered”.

  • Mandolin Playing in Minneapolis and St. Paul Wooden Boxes
    amy kreitzer Sweet Harmonies from Little Mandolin Playing in Minneapolis and St. Paul Wooden Boxes At the close of the nineteenth century, a new and distinctive sound caught the ears of Minnesotans rang - ing from poor Italian immigrants to affluent young men. The captivating sound came from a small, eight- stringed wooden instrument called the mandolin. While modern listeners associate it with bluegrass and folk music, a hundred years ago mandolins were welcomed in the realms of classi - cal and popular music. The Albert Bellson Mandolin Quartet, late 1930s: (clockwise from lower left) Bellson and Wallace Between 1890 and 1920 , the golden Ziebarth with mandolins, Clifton Peterson with age of the mandolin, traveling concert mandocello, and Vergel Vanzora with mandola 219 artists, vaudeville performers, and A round-back Italian mandolin, advertised for $25 in a local teachers inspired thousands of P.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

  • Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer Headline 5Th Annual
    Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer Headline 5th Annual Guitar Festival Posted by Fred.Heather On 03/07/2017 Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are a formidable powerhouse of sound, with a repertoire of traditional and contemporary folk, old-time country and swing music. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the acoustic & electric guitar, five-string banjo, mandolin, cello banjo, ukulele, percussion and many other instruments. Back from a European tour with Tom Paxton, they will be coming to St. Mary’s County for the PJMA 5th Annual Guitar Festival on March 11th. (see www.pjma.info for more details) Cathy Fink was born in Maryland, but began her musical career in Canada in the early 1970s, busking and playing folk music in coffeehouses. A singer, guitarist, banjo player and yodeler, she made her recording debut in 1975 with Duck Donald, with whom she toured for five years and recorded three albums. Marcy Marxer grew up in Swartz Creek, Michigan and learned to play guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer and button accordion while still in high school. She went to work for General Motors but continued to play at every opportunity. In 1978, after receiving theater training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Ringling Brothers Clown College, she devoted herself to music full-time. The two met in 1980, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the Mariposa Folk Festival. Marcy was playing in an all-women’s string band called “the Bosom Buddies.” Cathy was touring solo at the time. They were in a few workshops together and in the evenings back at the hotel, they gravitated to the same late night jam sessions.
