The Greencards are an acoustic music phenomenon that's played around the world, headlined major festivals, won awards, and toured with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, Rosanne Cash, Kasey Chambers, Robert Earl Keen and more. The most conspicuous thing they have in common, these new stars of Americana, is that they ain't American. Eamon McLoughlin (fiddle) is English. Kym Warner (mandolin) and Carol Young (bass) are Australians. They took Best New Band at the Austin Music Awards in 2004. The Houston Chronicle ranked their live show among the city's top live nights of music of the year. The Greencards landed a deal with Dualtone in 2005 and released 'Weather And Water' to great acclaim. Dylan and Nelson tapped them to open their now-famous U.S. tour of minor league baseball parks in the summer of 2005, 30 dates in all. Their video for the song "Time" became one of the most played on GAC and CMT's Americana shows. They were nominated for New/Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Awards in 2004 and then won that prize in the fall of 2006.
