Few husband-wife musical duos provide audiences with the complete entertainment package that Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart dish out in a live performance. Armed with clever acoustic guitar interplay, autobiographical songwriting, lovely harmonies, and humorous storytelling, the couple captivates audience’s attention from the first moment they are onstage. Based out of Tennessee, Earle and Stuart draw from blues, pop, country, rock, and more in their heartfelt music. Years of touring the folk/Americana circuit (playing 170 concerts a year) have given them a knack for reaching out to the audience in an intimate, “come into my living room” fashion.
Stacey and Mark own their own record label, Gearle Records, and have produced eight albums over the years. Since meeting in 1992 and marrying in late 1993, the partners have toured the USA, Canada, and Europe repeatedly. They left the environment of pursuing a major label deal in Nashville in 1998 to target small intimate venue crowds in theaters, coffeehouses, festivals, clubs, and house concerts. This has become their home and they are a recognized fixture on the folk music trail they blaze.
Earle and Stuart met for the first time 1991 at a songwriters’ night in Nashville. They knew that night it was one of those things that are just meant to be. They were married in 1992 while raising two children from Stacey’s first marriage. It was quite a balancing act at that time raising a family while trying to make a living, “but we managed,” Stacey said, as she looks back at her first encounter with the world of touring.
Stacey Earle’s first show was on an arena stage in Sydney, playing rhythm guitar in her brother’s band, Steve Earle & the Dukes, on “The Hard Way” tour in 1990. Stacey appeared on Steve Earle and The Dukes recordings, The Hard Way, Shut Up And Die Like An Aviator, and Transcendental Blues.
