"This imported trio is creating some of the finest Americana around." RollingStone.com

Four short years ago, a green card was an immigration document - now The Greencards are an acoustic music phenomenon that has played around the world, headlined major festivals, won awards, and toured with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. They've released three fine albums, and their latest release, Viridian, was nominated at the Grammy Awards Ceremony in 2008 for 'Best Country Instrumental Performance'. Their label debut Weather and Water was strong enough to win them a slot on the Dylan/Nelson tour, but then they had to deliver.
Fortunately, The Greencards have an ability to go out on stage in front of 20,000 strangers, and magically turn them into friends and fans. It's happened at Merlefest, Telluride and Austin City Limits, on both US coasts, Down South and Down Under, and of course many times in Austin Texas, "The Live Music Capital of the World", city of the band's chance origins and initial successes. Their respect for bluegrass is very evident, but they also bend their music to include more modern influences such as Patty Griffin and Tim O'Brien, meaning you're just as likely to find them filed under 'Americana' as anything else.
