Music Video Monday: Mark Edgar Stuart With Garrison Starr

Music Video Monday finds joy in togetherness.

When Memphis singer/songwriter Mark Edgar Stuart was stuck in a creative rut, he needed collaboration to help him out of it. “I’d been spinning my wheels creatively for most of 2019,” he says. “I wanted to shake things up, and get outside of my creative comfort zone. I met Brandon Kinder at Ditty TV. Though we come from different musical backgrounds, I always admired him as a songwriter and a producer. I had written a song for my wife, a good old-fashioned love song, and he recommended that it be a duet. He suggested Garrison Starr. That seemed pretty far-fetched at the time. To me she was a star. I’d been a fan of Garrison since the Highland strip days back in the 90s. She accepted the invite and the song was complete. I figured you can’t have a single without a video, so with my phone I filmed my recent vacation to Puerto Rico with my wife. I thought it was kinda fitting, the two of us making ‘One More Memory For The Road.'”

A virtual trip to Puerto Rico doesn’t sound too bad about now, does it?

Music Video Monday: The Wealthy West

Music Video Monday is multiplying.

The Wealthy West is the dream pop incarnation of Memphis musician Brandon Kinder. Director Jonathan Thomason created this striking video for “Wild Eyes” from the album The Right Regrets.

 “The song is about losing a friend, an important friend, a best friend,” says Kinder. “He was the kind of guy that lived life in a way that we’re all a little jealous of. He moved to NYC to pursue his many dreams. One of those dreams was to be on stage, dancing and singing with the greats. We decided to use vintage footage of people dancing, as a way to pay tribute to that. Not only would these fuzzy, black and white dancers look cool sweeping across the screen as I sang, but they would also be a quiet nod to my friend. Thanks so much to Jonathan Thomason for all the help shoot/directing/editing the thing together. I had a tiny idea for a video with three of me and some old footage, and he helped really bring it to life!”
