Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer

January 17, 2025 • 7:30 p.m.

Join Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer as they celebrate 40 years in the Washington, DC area and the release of “WAHOO!”, their 48th recording together.

Grammy winners CATHY FINK & MARCY MARXER are consummate entertainers, master musicians and trail blazers in multiple genres of roots music. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar, five-string banjo, ukulele, mandolin, cello-banjo, and more. The duo will feature selected tunes from their new CD “WAHOO!” celebrating the magic of the ukulele with western swing, calypso, jazz standard, Appalachian, Celtic, and Tango. 

Cathy and Marcy have shared the stage with a wide range of musical luminaries, including Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel, Tom Paxton, Patsy Montana, and Riders in the Sky. They have entertained the Queen of Thailand, been keynote singers for the AFL-CIO, and appeared on the “Today Show” and National Public Radio. The Washington Area Music Association has recognized the duo with over 60 WAMMIE Awards for folk, bluegrass, and children’s music. Cathy & Marcy advocate in Washington for unions, health care for children, and the rights and livelihoods of artists.

” Equal parts warm vocals, hot licks, ear-tickling arrangements and expert song curation make “WAHOO!” is a delight from beginning to end.”-Jim Beloff

Regrets – another artist gone

TOM PRASADA-RAO, a musician’s musician, passed away on June 19, 2024.

It is with sad news from the NYT that we let you know that Tom passed away on June 19, 2024. We’ve now lost 2 performers that graced our stage, made an impact on the very wide range of performers and music lovers, Tom and Phil Wiggins. They will both be sorely missed, and the Carroll Cafe team is very grateful that we were blessed by both musicians gracing our stage. The chance to perform locally, in an intimate venue, allowed them do what they loved close to home, with many friends in the audience.
