The St. Marys singer-songwriter duo, York Street Thought Process, recently had the chance to have their live-music sessions filmed at a local landmark.

York Street Thought Process filmed four live-off-the-floor sessions videos for the Art of Music Project at the St. Marys Museum. The Art of Music Project is a nonprofit organization that gives artists a platform to showcase their talent.

“It’s really cool that musicians want to highlight their local buildings, and I think it’s a cool opportunity for us because sometimes the public just don’t really see the museum in that light,” said Amy Cubberley, cultural services manager for the Town of St. Marys. “I’ve seen a couple of the finished videos and it’s really cool. It’s not obvious that it’s the museum, but if you’re familiar with our site, then it would be more obvious. It’s just cool that they thought of us as an appropriate venue for that.”

Cubberley worked with York Street Thought Process previously for the ValenTune’s concert with The Bone Radlers at St. Marys town hall and the Melodies at the Museum summer series.

“They’re wonderful. I really enjoy working with them,” she said. “They’re so knowledgeable and so professional when it comes to the music industry.”

In a statement sent to the St. Marys Independent, York Street Thought Process’ Jaron Camp and Rachael Frankruyter said Art of Music Project audio producer Alex Krotz reached out after attending one of their shows and checked out their music online. The folk duo was interested after hearing about the project, which also involves video producer Malcom Cottle.

“Because of Alex and Malcolm, the day ran so smooth which made for a fun and relaxed environment the day of the shoot,” Camp and Frankruyter said. “We are thrilled with the final videos!”

They’re also glad to include the St. Marys Museum in the process.

“The St. Marys Museum was a stunning, inspiring and visually unique space for us to shoot the project,” they said. “We are incredibly grateful to Amy Cubberley for sharing the museum with us and allowing us to film there.”

York Street Thought Process recognizes the importance of Art of Music Project pieces for emerging artists.

“Not only do they use their platform to showcase us to new audiences, they give us access to professional live video footage that we can use for grant and festival applications, as well as other booking opportunities,” the pair said. “We appreciated having a great team to work with, who were so meticulous about our artistic vision and showcasing who we are as a duo through video.”
