{Music Monday} More collaboration on the brain...

I am a little enamored with the collaboration idea and want to share another noteworthy bunch of people. Imogene + Willie is a husband & wife team located in Nashville, TN who hand-craft denim with sewing machines in an old gas station. It's Americana fashion re-defined. John Moessner is a man of many talents  (Moessner Productions) including working with music, audio, video, motion graphics production, plus he writes and sings- with a cd under his belt. What happens when these creative forces collide? An awesome video that makes me want to buy an old gas-station, turn it into a studio, & change the world- while tapping my feet. (image here)



The first time I visited the Imogene + Willie website, I got stuck on their home page watching the intro video that John Moessner made about them.  I probably played it at least ten times in a row. It gave me that hopeful and inspired feeling that music & images can provoke when paired perfectly. I love the space, the concept, the lighting, and the general feel of the video. Moessner's keen ear and love of music is particularly evident in this video. The music that he chose was the Griffin House song, "Give a Little Love" and it completely makes the video (in my opinion). And yes, I did make an itunes visit after watching it.


Live Performance from John Moessner on Vimeo.
I spent some time looking through all of Moessner's projects and found a music video of a live performance of the song, "Charmed Life" by Joy Williams and Trent Dabbs. It had that same relaxed and comforting feel to it and I wanted to share it as well. So once again, here is another example some wonderful collaborations. Happy Music Monday! Has a good video ever peaked your interest in a musician before?

Man, if only I could have one of their jeans! How the hell do you find these amazing people and music?!
