Fearing and White at the Crane

ANDY WHITE and Stephen Fearing will play the Crane Bar on Friday next, November 4. The duo, who boast 19 solo albums between them, have recently released a collaboration entitled Fearing & White.

Their eponymous debut album is the happy result of a long friendship that has survived both the tyranny of distance and the travails of the road. White now calls Melbourne, Australia, home, while Fearing has recently moved to Halifax on Canada’s east coast. Over the past eight years, the two well-travelled troubadours have juggled schedules so they can meet up at least once a year to hang out and write songs. Fearing & White is a collection of 13 of those tunes.

Fearing is well known within the international folk and roots music community as one of its most accomplished songsmiths, storytellers, and guitarists. A double Juno award winner in his native Canada, he has experienced commercial and critical success, both in his solo career and with roots/rock supergroup Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. Along the way, Stephen has toured and recorded with everybody from Merle Haggard to Shawn Colvin.

Northern Ireland born White has earned a global following for blending folk and pop stylings with a poet's sensibility. Working with the likes of Sinead O'Connor and Van Morrison, he has won Ireland's top songwriting awards and toured the world many times. A published author, his recent on the road journal/novel 21st Century Troubadour has scored rave reviews.

Admission is €15, or €12.50 for members. For more information and tickets contact The Crane on 091 - 587419 or see www.thecranebar.com
