Changes are coming for Stacey and husband Mark Stuart, as indicated on their website:

The “STACEY EARLE & MARK STUART Duo Tour” will be coming to a close. We will continue to tour through the year and early into 2010, even adding some dates to our schedule in that window of time. Those who are presenting us in concert throughout 2009-early 2010 can be assured we will gleefully be there to perform.

We thank all those who were there to support our duo in the 8-plus years that we toured/recorded under this professional name. We have performed together over 17 years, been married over 15. Our marriage is very much intact and we will, undoubtedly, have some involvement in one another’s projects. However, the duo as an act will basically cease to exist. The long, heavy touring that has been our trademark will be over, but, you will be able to attend/present concerts of the solo artists “MARK STUART” or “STACEY EARLE”.
