Christopher Martini - Notes From The Director - The ReWlettes "To Sir, with Love" music video

“I was approached by Paul Richmond from Zest Radio Show to direct a music video for ReW STaRR and The Rewlettes, in early 2020.

Paul has been an ardent supporter of my films, for many years, so because of our personal relationship, I was honored to help him out.

But after hearing the wonderful music of ReW STaRR, I became very excited to embark on the project, and when I was informed it was to help “Feed The Children” it became a no brainer for me.

“Cause” projects are self-fueled and seem to travel well.

I wrote a script for the music video, to shoot on Coney Island, on March 21, 2020, but the pandemic hit and we had to change plans.

We needed to move forward regardless, so I started to plan a music video where each band member would capture their own coverage.

Rather than something overly stylized, or overly clever, I decided on a more Zen approach to the shots; center framing, eye level, and I was able to pull a little nuance and character out of ReW and the band members to add a little gold trim to the video.

With the artistic help of the talented Jimmy King (who photographed David Bowie for many years), the video was taken to another level.

Jimmy suggested to give each band member a school tie, it was the broad stroke of genius, such a small touch, that added a wonderful artistic element to the video.

Jimmy provided feedback on each phase of production, including wardrobe and locations, as well as set dressing, so his guidance was instrumental in the artistic continuity of the video.

I am quite happy with how the video turned out.

It is such a wonderfully written song, and ReW’s cover of it is just marvelous!

So, my plan to really let the song and the music speak for itself, was achieved.

I really hope people spread the video around, so money can be raised to feed our hungry children.

The cause is so important and I think the music and the visuals really carry the message.”

Happy New Year


By Admin, 2021-01-01

Happy New Year! 2020 Has been an incredibly tough year and my guess is that everyone has been impacted one way or another with either Covid or the cascading side effects from it. Let's hope 2021 does a complete 180 and returns us to a normal lifestyle where our biggest worries are do I buy the Gibson, Fender or the PRS? The one nice consequence of 2020 was I spent a lot of time with Kat and my daughters. You have to make the best of the situation you are in and this was without a doubt more fun than I could have imagined.


Thanks to William Thompson, Jim Rustemeyer, Joseph Rodríguez, Ron Bowes for keeping MixStream Radio alive.

The Trying Times of 2020


By REVEREND NATHON, 2020-12-24
The Trying Times of 2020

So this Pandemic thing has just about destroyed the live music industry....bands are playing venues restricted to 50% capacity and are getting paid 50% of their wage....our live music venues are closing up daily and losing everything they worked so hard for, even major historical music landmarks have boarded up and left sad-4

Touring has been all but shut down, we want to play across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia and will if travel restrictions ever lift.

About the only thing keeping our music alive right now are these great music websites such as Mixposure that are helping get our music out there to your ears and we are most grateful to each and every music website and internet radio station out there that's helping keep the music alive.

Our debut release: REVEREND NATHON-Volume 1 is doing really well, we are getting feedback and Tweets from listeners across the planet telling us they really dig our sound and songwriting and want to see us perform live. We promise you we WILL be on the road in 2021, Covid or no Covid we have to keep moving forward !

Let us know where you are listening to us from and where you would like to see us play.

If you are a venue owner or festival organizer who is Blues Rock friendly we would love an invite to tour thru your town !

Eddie Van Halen

Tragic day to all of us guitarists who grew up trying to be anything close to Eddie Van Halen. This man created a whole generation of guitarists that will continue to grow thanks to his genius. You will be missed EVH but never forgotten.
