Stephen Fearing and Andy White are two of the finest contemporary singer-songwriters anywhere, and both have Irish roots. Fearing—a founding member of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings— was raised in Dublin, moved back to Vancouver where he was born, and currently lives in Halifax. White, who was raised in Belfast, makes his home in Melbourne these days. The guitarists and storytellers met some 15 years ago and, though they live on opposite sides of the world, they’ve developed into a hot electric-acoustic duo. When Fearing & White come to St. James Hall this Sunday (April 13), they’ll be performing songs from their rocking new album, Tea and Confidences, backed by a drummer.
