Cathy Fink, a fixture of the 1970s Winnipeg folk music scene and a breakout star of the first Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1974, is back in town for a pair of performances this weekend with her partner Marcy Marxer.
Performing together for over 35 years, the folk artists — who play the banjo, the ukulele, the mandolin, the guitar and a creation called the cello-banjo — have been nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning back-to-back honours in 2004 and 2005. Saturday night, Fink and Marxer take the stage at the Crescent Fort Rouge Arts Centre (525 Wardlaw Ave.) as the guests of honour at an all-star, old-fashioned kitchen party hosted by Daniel Koulack (Finjan).
On Sunday, the duo visit the Fort Garry Hotel to perform with Jazz Winnipeg’s ongoing concert series in the historic downtown hotel’s wheelchair-accessible lower-level Club Room. Supplied Cathy Fink (left) and Marcy Marxer will perform at .
