The Greencards are determined to make history, not just repeat it.
They're off to a good start. Though they're steeped in the tradition of bluegrass, The Greencards weave influences as disparate as Bob Dylan, Ricky Skaggs and The Beatles into a compelling new brand of acoustic music. They honor the past, but refuse to live in it. That's why they continue to push at the boundaries of bluegrass and Americana music.
Their willingness to experiment and follow the music into unfamiliar territory has earned the band accolades from critics and fans alike. In their short existence, they formed at the beginning of 2003, The Greencards have hauled in a Best New Band award at the 2004 Austin Music Awards and been nominated for Best New Emerging Talent at the 2004 Americana Music Awards. The Houston Chronicle praised their performance as one of The Top 5 Houston concerts of 2004, ranking them with luminaries such as George Jones, David Bowie and Simon & Garfunkel. Texas music legend Robert Earl Keen says of their music, "It's the best bluegrass I've heard in 20 years."
