BIOGRAPHY
Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart have been playing music ever since the first night they met, at a Nashville songwriters’ night that Stacey was hosting in 1992. In 2003, they put out their first record together. Entitled Never Gonna Let You Go, it was a testimony to exactly what they had planned – to record and play together as an official duo from then on out. We are proud to be releasing COMMUNION BREAD, the duo’s second studio album.

After playing and writing songs for many years and then honing her skills as a songwriter working for Ten Ten Music Group in Nashville for three years on top of that, Stacey has an extensive catalog of original tunes. She busted out of the shadow of her older brother and fellow musician Steve in 1998 with the release of her critically noted debut, Dancin’ With Them That Brung Me. Mark, a Nashville native and long-time musician and songwriter himself, put out his own record, Songs From a Corner Stage, in 1999. Road warriors in the true sense of the word, the duo has logged 250 dates a year touring in the past, and have no plans of letting up. In 2001 they recorded a double live cd with the intention of selling it at their gigs, but their fans “broke our arm” and insisted it get out there into the stores so it would be more widely available to buy.

Stacey grew up in a musical family, but her her first professional recording wasn’t until she was in her late 20s, when she sang on her brother Steve Earle’s record, The Hard Way. Since then both she and Mark have toured with Steve – Stacey singing and Mark playing guitar in the Dukes. Mark toured with Freddy Fender when he was in his teens; Stacey had another huge career thrill when she toured with Joan Baez.
