It’s truly a crying shame that Mark Edgar Stuart’s music isn’t more well known, as it really is powerful.

By Jane Howkins

Mark follows in the great Americana tradition, making a form of rock and folk music with a nostalgic vibe, harking back to the glory days of the folk-rock movement. The main chord sequence on new tune New Kind of Blue is haunting to behold, working its way straight into your soul. The main melody continues throughout most of the track, as Mark adds more and more layers, with a soulful guitar solo emerging towards the end, circling round the piano in a gorgeous way. I implore you to give New Kind of Blue a listen!
