DAVE'S DIARY - 2 AUGUST 2005 - PREVIEW EPISODE 5 - SERIES 4

GREENCARDS TIME ARRIVES


Greencards
Expatriate Australian bluegrass band Greencards has won a vast new galaxy of fans after a prestige tour with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan.

Now it headlines Episode #5 of Series #4 of Nu Country TV this Saturday - August 6 - at 8 p m on C 31.

The trio features Adelaide born Kym Warner, Coffs Harbour-Dorrigo damsel Carol Young and Englishman Eamon McLoughlin.

Greencards perform the video for new single Time from second album Weather And Water.

Warner and Young wrote the song with prolific songwriter Bill Whitbeck - bassist for legendary Texan troubadour Robert Earl Keen.

The video clip earned healthy high rotation on the U.S. CMT cable network before being sent to Australian Pay TV channel CMC and Nu Country TV.

"We made the video clip at an old ice skating rink at Lebanon near Nashville," Kym recalled.
"All the local kids came to the rink for the video directed by Roger Pistole from the West Coast."

The trio, now touring the U.S. with South Australian born and latter day NSW Central Coast chart topper Kasey Chambers, is winning wide exposure on U.S. radio.
