Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Leslie Mendelson evokes the sounds of Laurel Canyon with her folk-rock, pop-Americana flavor. Amongst her fans—and collaborators—is legendary musician Jackson Browne, who has praised the Grammy nominee’s voice, songwriting and melodies as timeless.

Described by Relix Magazine as an artist with “a loyal, cross-generational audience that hugs the hippie, hipster, coffee shop and society crowds,” Leslie’s timeless musicality and evocative songwriting indeed cuts a wide swath. All Music writes that Leslie evokes “1970s songwriter influences in the vein of Carole King and Carly Simon,” while The Aquarian declares she is “the closest thing one can get to a truly honest musical experience.”
