American Folklife Center invited 5 distinguished Washington, D.C.-area artists to dig deep into our archive and put their own creative stamp on the songs and tunes they found here. Each of the artists will perform just a couple of songs from the archive to show what a tremendous resource it is for creative work. The artists are Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, Dom Flemons, Seth Kibel, Cissa Paz, and Phil Wiggins. At this concert, you will hear the music they fell in love with during their research, imbued with their own creativity and style.
