Elegant and precise vocals with emotional resonance.

Grammy award-nominated artist, Leslie Mendelson (vocals, guitar, harmonica), has won the hearts of both an adoring fan base and fellow artists alike. Mendelson crafts a distinctive vintage rock, folk-pop flavor, evoking the sounds of Laurel Canyon, but with the grit and sharp wit of Brooklyn, the city she calls home. There are realness and musicality that's both nostalgic and new within her music and especially her new album, After The Party, co-produced by Peter Asher, Tyler Chester, and longtime songwriting partner, Steve McEwan.

Steve McEwan (guitar and vocals) shares the stage with her, playing songs and telling stories through lyrics that they have written together. He is a London-born, three-time Grammy Award-winning songwriter. McEwan has written music for artists like Chris Stapleton, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, and many more.

Together, these two blend their talents, pleasing crowds with enchanted vocals and evocative songwriting.
