Kym Warner interview online
Kym Warner, hot shot mandolinist with The Greencards, was interviewed recently on Saturday Night Country, broadcast from his native Australia. He is interviewed by show host John Nutting, and speaks about the group’s success of late, including finding their newest CD, Viridian, atop the Billboard bluegrass chart.
Kym moved from Australia and studied bluegrass muisc at South Plains College in Texas, and The Greencards were born while he was living in Austin. He lives now in Nashville when he isn’t out on the road with the band.
Kym is also featured in the current Spring ‘07 issue of Mandolin Magazine, which includes a transcription for his song, Mucky The Duck, from Viridian.
You can hear the entire interview from Saturday Night Country on the show’s web site.
