TWO-TIME GRAMMY® Award Winners, 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 virtu- osity on the acoustic & electric guitar, five-string banjo, mandolin, cello banjo, ukulele, percussion and many other instruments. Top it off with a witty stage presence and warm audience rapport and you’ve got a well loved music duo.

They’ve earned two Grammy Awards, in 2004 and 2005 for “cELLAbration: a Tribute to Ella Jenkins” and for “Bon Appétit!”. In 2003, they were GRAMMY nominated for their CD, “POST- CARDS” in the Best Traditional Folk Album category. They received another GRAMMY® nomination in that category for “Banjo Talkin’” 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.”

In 2006 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. National sales of the guitar have been impressive. In 2008, the Gold Tone Banjo Company released the Marcy Marxer model cello banjo, modeled after Marcy’s remarkable Gibson 1918 cello banjo.
