Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer received four Wammies recently in

About Time" which Cathy & Marcy produced for their friend, fabulous
dobro/steel player, the late Dave Giegerich. Collectively Cathy and
Marcy also received awards for Best Folk Duo or Group, Best Folk Instrumentalist (Marcy), and Best Children's Recording, "Sing to Your Baby” (wamadc.com/wama/the_wammies.)
Self-released on Community Music, Inc. (CMCD #205) Rockin' the Uke
has great music for all ages. From Django inspired solos to lush
harmony singing, the duo's consummate musicianship is matched by their
enthusiasm for what this little instrument can do. It is available for
order (www.cathymarcy.com) or download off iTunes or cdbaby.
Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer are a formidable powerhouse of sound with a
repertoire of swing, folk, old-time country and original music. Their
superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar,
banjo, mandolin, cello banjo, percussion and now – the Ukulele. Top it
off with a witty stage presence and warm audience rapport and you have
wonderful music and fine entertainment.
