About Muriel:
Considered one of the USA's foremost guitarists and harp-guitarists, Muriel Anderson is also a gifted educator. She is the first woman to have won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship. She is host and originator of the "Muriel Anderson's ALL STAR GUITAR NIGHT" as well as founder of the Music for Life Alliance, to support music education in schools and grassroots programs nationwide. Her double CD "Nightlight Daylight" is the first to use fiber optics in the package, her original idea, and it has won a dozen national and international honors. Her Heartstrings recording accompanied the astronauts on a space shuttle mission, and her new release "Acoustic Chef" is both an international cookbook and a CD.
About Cathy:

She is not only well known as half of the GRAMMY winning duo, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, but for her volunteer efforts and activism within the music industry and on behalf of issues and organizations that care about children.
Cathy is one of the country's finest clawhammer banjo players. In 1980 she became the first woman to win the West Virginia State Old Time Banjo contest, an honor she earned 3 times.
