Short Bio After almost 9years, Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart are back in Southsea! Stacey and Mark are each veterans of Stacey's brother Steve Earle's band The Dukes, and Mark toured in Freddy Fender’s band amongst others. Gearle Records 2008 release, “Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart Town Square”, available at shows only, comes after receiving an overwhelmingly warm response to the acoustic version bonus CD of their 2003 duo release, “Never Gonna Let You Go”. Stacey and Mark: “We are thinking, maybe, it is what the audience wants and we aim to please. Folks come to the show; they ask if we have something that sounded like us that night. Let’s call it a souvenir .It seems we have become songwriters, live performers, then recording artists in that order.” The two have recorded 32 acoustic versions of songs performed over the last 16 years.It While, no doubt, each still remains an individual solo artist with solo releases (such as the new 2008 release of Mark Stuart “Left of Nashville” and Stacey Earle “The Ride” due in 2009), They know the band thing is great fun and can lift the bar, as A show not to miss, Stacey and Mark reach back and grab songs of the past, then fast forward to present and into the future. They will be performing from their own new solo releases as well during their tour.
