Trevor Nickerson, the team’s Vice President and Executive Producer of Blue Note Productions, said he chose this song because of its meaning and connection not only to the city, but to everyone alike.
“If you’re from St. Louis, it makes you feel something,” Nickerson said. “But even if you’re not from St. Louis, hearing the song and understanding the lyrics of ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’ and what that means, I think it can have sort of a resonating effect with everyone.”
To make the vision come to life, the Blues partnered with the German production company 2WEI to write and produce the soundtrack. Additionally, the team hired 4th Floor Creative, a video production company based in Ohio, to create the backdrop and help shoot the video.
The end result features not only players, but also highlights local artists. Lindenwood University’s student orchestra performed the instrumentals in front of a signature vinyl record wall that includes albums from St. Louis’ own SZA, Nelly and more!
