| Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart Saturday, June 20, 2009
Trails Clubhouse, 8pm
Tickets - $15.00
| < |
Stacey and Mark have recorded 32 acoustic versions of songs performed over the last 16 years.
It comes after receiving an overwhelmingly warm response to the acoustic version bonus CD of their 2003 duo release, Never Gonna Let You Go. While, no doubt, each still remains an individual solo artist with solo releases (such as the 2008 release of Mark Stuart "Left of Nashville: and Stacey Earle "The Ride"due later 2009), it is through the respect of each others work and years of playing together they have created their sound. And, that sound allows each individual to shine through. Their stage plot is as basic as it gets. No tricks, no gadgets, just two vocals (workhorse SM58s), two XLRs (guitar lines). Mix vocals even (think Everly Brothers), set the board "flat", mix Mark's guitar slightly hotter then Stacey's (so the base notes can be felt while leaving the bite of the lead licks in Mark's hands). With that, the dynamics are controlled by the artists.
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.
Be sure to reserve your seats soon for this special show,
by emailing tickets@fortyacres.org.
Doors willl open at 7:30 and the show will start very close to the stated time of 8 PM.
You may wish to bring a cooler with your favorite beverage and lots of cash to load up on great CDs.
