Great acoustic Americana–from Australians!

It was, first of all, their fascination with American roots music–bluegrass especially–that drew singer/bassist Carol Young and multiple stringed-instrument master Kym Warner from Australia to Austin, Texas, where they began performing together, and later to their current home base in Nashville. An urge to challenge themselves, to test the limits of any established genre, guided them on their first three albums. It kept them focused as they accumulated awards and acclamations, from the Americana Music Award in 2006 for Emerging Artist of the Year through tours with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson to last year’s Best Country Instrumental Performance Grammy nomination for "Mucky The Duck," a track from the "Viridian" album in 2008, and another in 2010 for "The Crystal Merchant" from "Fascination." "If you like Nickel Creek and the Dixie Chicks--bands that can really play and sing--then you’ll love the Greencards," says Kevin Connor of Austin's KGSR-FM radio. The Greencards are coming to Michigan with an as-yet-untitled new release!
