$Mark Edgar Stuart & The Blueshift Ensemble w\/ special guests Bailey Bigger, Alexis Grace, & Infinity Stairs$

Beloved Memphis singer-songwriter, Mark Edgar Stuart, joins The Blueshift Ensemble once again for their 4th Annual Christmas Show! It will be an unforgettable evening of songs, stories, symphonic sounds, and shenanigans. Special guests will include Alexis Grace with visuals by Infinity Stairs, plus a very special opening set by Bailey Bigger & Wyly Bigger.
You’ll have a tough time finding a more widely-embraced modern singer-songwriter in Memphis. Quick-witted and empathetic, aloof but probably alert of the room tone, most folks will find themselves compatible with Mark Edgar Stuart. His musicality and honest voice showcase a resilient and relaxed artist, both sage and seasoned. John Prine even admiringly referred to him as the “Remote Control Guy” when they met, a nod of approval for one of Stuart’s signature songs. Grammy-winning music writer/director Robert Gordon is a big fan, often spinning Mark's tracks on his weekly radio show, and other critics agree: “His acerbic wit is reminiscent of Randy Newman” (No Depression); “Always maintaining a tender demeanor, his songwriting is smart as it is sincere” (Pop Matters); “His wry, cutting view of the world makes something old new again” (Paste Magazine); "Damn fine songwriter" (Arkansas Times)
