Mark Stuart and Eric Ramsey at the Elks Crystal Hall

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Mark Stuart has played with country and roots-rock groups like the Long Gone Daddies and Steve Earle's Dukes. While playing with that group he met his future wife, Stacey Earle. After the couple married in 1994, Stuart also became Stacey's accompanist on her albums and tours. His album Songs From A Corner Stage was released in 1999 on Steve Earle's E-Squared label. Mark Stuart will treat the year the same as most years, touring heavily as an artist. Having taken his music to Europe, UK, Canada, and all of USA for decades, the Nashville native will captivate audiences with his songs, singing, and guitarmanship. The Americana/Folk veteran serves up songs from his Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart CDs, solo CDs, AND reflects on his journey in music.
