TWO-TIME GRAMMY® Award Winners, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer are an eclectic folk festival on their own terms. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity on the guitar, five-string banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and cello-banjo. The duo has released 48 recordings, won recognition as both songwriters and tradition bearers, and opened doors for countless other musicians. From social justice to the history of women in country music, Django style jazz to bluegrass, and old- time music, they are a rare eclectic duo that ties it all together-past, present, and future.
MARCY MARXER is a multi-instrumentalist, studio musician, performer, songwriter and producer with 30 years of experience and a shelf of impressive awards. She has played acoustic music on Emmy Award winning National Geographic specials, platinum shipping Eva Cassidy CD’s and on over 50 recordings and instructional materials created with her partner, Cathy Fink.
Joshua Ford is a playwright living in Montgomery County, MD.

The majority of my photographs are taken at a family owned flower farm in the Agricultural Reserve in Laytonsville, Maryland. My photography is mostly of flowers from farms in Maryland and also from farmers markets in Maryland, Delaware and Washington, DC. I try to shoot pictures of flowers that are locally grown. I photograph flowers, foliage, grasses, fruits, berries and vegetables.
