Street Music on Paris Avenue is a free concert series that is a gift from the Town of Port Royal, produced by ARTworks, the arts council of Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands.
At 6:30 p.m., Saturday, June 15 Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are Grammy Award Winners for children’s songs and folk music: “As close to flawless folk-bluegrass as it gets.” according to Billboard Magazine. The powerhouse duo has 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. 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, and nominations, and 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. They’ve been commissioned by the Kennedy Center; their recorded catalogue of CD’s, DVD’s and instructional materials includes an astounding 45 titles.
