With her enchanted voice and evocative songwriting, Leslie Mendelson has won the hearts and minds of both an adoring fanbase and fellow artists alike. No less than Jackson Browne has declared, Leslies melodies are timeless. They reach me way back in my youth somewhere. I hear traces of Burt Bacharach and Carole King, and hooks and passages that remind me of the pop songs I grew up hearing on the radio, while The Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan shares: Voices like Leslies can get away with almost anything. Along with being a great songwriter, this leaves her with few if any peers. A Grammy Award-nominated artist, Mendelson returns this summer with her fourth studio album, After The Party. For this latest effort, she collaborates with not one, but three producers: the legendary Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt), the young, in-demand Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Sara Bareilles, Sara Watkins) and her longtime songwriting partner, three-time Grammy Award-winner, Steve McEwan. Recorded at Jackson Brownes studio Grove Masters in Santa Monica, CA, she was joined by an ace band featuring guitarists Waddy Wachtel and John Jorgenson, bassists Leland Sklar and Derrick Anderson, and drummers Jim Keltner and Abe Rounds. _____Goldpine is folksy and falls within the Americana genre but their musical arrangements are very innovative and eclectic. - Melissa Clarke (Americana Highways, July 7, 2022)Exposing the pains of severed relationships and unearthing the pursuits of love and purpose, Goldpine is cathartic, moody, dissonant, and relevant. After nearly a decade of honing in on their sound, theyre ready to give the world their self-produced LP, One. The debut album is a snapshot of this season of their lives symbolizing a new beginning and an homage to the halcyon journey under their previous band name My One and Only. Laced with bold vocal harmonies and fervent lyrics, One is the perfect introduction to Goldpine.From festivals like 30A Songwriting Festival and Bristol Rhythm s bold harmonies are clearly a channel for their highly charged songwriting. Presented the Discovery Award in 2018 by acclaimed music critic, Robert K. Oermann (Music Row Magazine), Ben and Kassie declared performance as their love-share to the world, and since then, have maintained the love and commitment they put into their shows.
