Trinity My Dear

Having gained a reputation as a top sideman for many of the best acts in Memphis including Grammy winner Alvin Youngblood Hart, John Paul Keith, Jack Oblivion and Cory Branan (which led to an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman) Mark Edgar Stuart stepped out on his own in 2013 with an intimate and beautiful solo debut earning him 'Album of the Year' honors and opening slots for Leon Russell, Lucero and Damien Jurado. His follow-up record, 'Trinity My Dear' is a natural progression of experience and maturity as a bonafide singer/songwriter in his own right. Whether writing about his own struggles with cancer or the heartbreak of losing family, this album delivers stories that are so personal yet universal. Accompanied by his deft finger-picking style and pure earnest voice, he called on some old friends to assist him in the studio. Recorded at renowned Sun Studios and Ardent Studios by veteran producer/engineer Jeff Powell (Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lucinda Williams) Stuart is backed by organist Al Gamble (St. Paul & the Broken Bones) and horn extraordinaire Jim Spake (Al Green, Cat Power, Lucero). 'Trinity My Dear' digs straight for the heart with brutal honesty, spirit and satire. It is a collection of songs so effortlessly poignant it promises to be discovered and rediscovered for a long time.
