GRAMMY NOMINATION!
We are VERY excited to receive a GRAMMY nomination for the CD, BANJO TALKIN' in the BEST TRADITIONAL FOLK ALBUM category. It is our 13th nomination, and the support and good will from within the music community has been overwhelming.
IN 2006, we ended our summer of festival performances and jam sessions by recording 2 CD's of music on old time banjo: BANJO TALKIN' and THE OLD TIME BANJO FESTIVAL with 20 of our favorite banjo players. While recording those projects, Marcy got hooked on banjos-ALL of them. She started collecting and playing cello banjo, tenor banjo, banjo ukulele, melody banjo and plectrum banjo. She already plays everything else-guitar, mandoli, uke, hammered dulcimer, steel drum, flutes, percussion......
The combe of cello banjo and old time five-string banjo has become a favorite in our musical circles.
Both banjo CD's are available at www.cathymarcy.com
And, there are some wonderful, young banjo players coming up. More on them later!
