SA born multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kym Warner has returned to home shores and is bringing his award-winning music with him.
A founding member of the American bluegrass band The Greencards, Kym is a renowned four-time Australian National Bluegrass Mandolin Champion and a three-time Grammy award nominee.
After a twenty-two-year hiatus performing and living in Austin, Texas, Kym will be relocating back to his native homeland in 2022. With resonant, reverby woody tones of music incorporating eclectic influences from Irish traditional, European gypsy, and Latin American, Kym will be accompanied by a western-swing band, ‘Meanwhile, back at the ranch’ for a compelling series of general admission shows across the state.
Kym Warner began his musical journey touring the outback with The Brian Young Show in 1993. In 1995 Kym spent two semesters at South Plains College in Levelland, TX studying and performing American roots music. He spent the next 5 years touring Australia with Kasey Chambers, Lee Kernaghan, Beccy Cole, Gina Jeffreys, Darren Coggin, Adam Harvey and Tania Kernaghan before moving to the U.S in 2001.
Kym toured the US, Europe, and Australia extensively for thirteen years, recorded six studio albums and received accolades such as three GRAMMY nominations, a #1 Billboard Bluegrass Album, an Americana Award for ‘Best New Artist’ and a 31-date national tour with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson.
In 2015, Kym released his debut solo album ‘Everything That Brought Me Here’, a full-instrumental album all composed and recorded by Kym with musical contributions by Tommy Emmanuel, Dan Dugmore, Jedd Hughes and Jeff Taylor to name a few.
Soon after he joined Robert Earl Keen as a member of his touring and studio band which included numerous performances at The Mother Church of Country Music, The Ryman in Nashville, as well as Red Rocks and the famed Carnegie Hall in NYC.
