GRAMMY Award-winning roots artists Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, partners in life and music (as Cathy & Marcy) for the last 40+ years will be screening their new award-winning musical film ALL WIGGED OUT on October 16th at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. The festivities will also include a performance and a Q&A in conjunction with Notes 4 Hope, HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, Cancer Support Community, and the Women's Cancer Resource Center. The pair will perform as well.
ALL WIGGED OUT is Marcy's poignant, yet often surprisingly hilarious musical show about her cancer journey. The film is 58 minutes of music, storytelling, comedy, and advice based on her firsthand experiences with breast cancer-one that began with a funky mammogram in June 2015 and ended shortly after her last chemo pill in the spring of 2021. "There were times when the wig shop gals gave me more information than my doctors," Marxer recalls. "So did conversations with other patients in the chemo room." With her renowned musical mastery and eclectic wit, Marxer traces her transition from award-winning virtuosic musician to artist struggling with chemo-induced neuropathy, and the path back to touring musician. It also happens to coincide with her hair story.
In the film, Marxer is joined by Cathy, Stacy McMichael (bass), and Janet Cramer (drums). ALL WIGGED OUT not only tells Marcy's story, but also helps medical professionals, friends, family, and even strangers learn how they can best support those with cancer, all while keeping a sense of humor. the film has been circulating the film festival circuit, garnering praise and accolades from the World Cinema Awards, the WRPN Women's International Film Festival, the Milan Gold Awards, the Chicago Cinema Awards, and more.
