Nashville, Tenn. — Sugar Hill Records is proud to announce the signing of Grammy-nominated acoustic music stalwarts The Greencards. The band is busy now in the studio with award winning producer Jay Joyce crafting their fourth album, slated for release in the spring of 2009.

Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Kym Warner says of the signing, “As The Greencards enter into a new phase of pushing musical boundaries, we are very excited to have signed with a label capable of moving with us. Our new album is already underway, and with producer Jay Joyce we are experiencing a focused creativity like never before. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with Sugar Hill Records.”

The three piece group consists of Warner, Carol Young on bass and vocals, and Eamon McLoughlin on fiddle and viola. True to their name, the band is an amalgam of international talent, hailing from Australia and the UK, that has come to rest in Nashville, TN by way of Austin. Their ever-evolving acoustic sound has earned them accolades (including Austin Music Awards, Americana Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination among others) and spots on some of the country’s most revered festival stages (Telluride Bluegrass, Austin City Limits Fest, and Bonnaroo to name a few).

The group’s virtuosity and deep musical integrity make them a great addition to the legacy-driven, roots-heavy roster at Sugar Hill, one of America’s most revered independent labels. Gary Paczosa, VP of A&R, comments “The Greencards are a natural fit for us. I worked with them on two previous projects and have always been impressed by their musical vision and their focused approach to their career and development.”
