Leslie Mendelson at Radio Woodstock

As the next installment of its ongoing Steeple Sessions livestream concert series, Radio Woodstock will welcome Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Leslie Mendelson to its Woodstock studios on June 11.

Currently touring in support of If You Can’t Say Anything Nice…, her most recent album on Royal Potato Family Records, Mendelson has recorded duets with Jackson Browne and the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and opened two shows for the Who at Madison Square Garden (she was set to open three more before the pandemic forced their postponement). Tagged by All Music for her “1970s songwriter influences in the vein of Carole King and Carly Simon” and praised by Relix for her “loyal, cross-generational audience that hugs the hippie, hipster, coffeeshop, and society crowds,” she garnered a Grammy nomination for her 2009 debut album, Swan Feathers. Newest to Mendelson’s discography is In the Meantime, a solo acoustic EP that she recorded during the 2020 lockdown.


Radio Woodstock’s intimate, limited-seating Steeple Sessions concerts take place at the station’s facility in a former church in Woodstock; livestream tickets are also available via the streaming platform Flymachine, which allows the users the option of watching the performance as a shared experience in private virtual rooms with their friends.

Leslie Mendelson will perform for Radio Woodstock’s livestream Steeple Series on June 11 at 7pm. In-person tickets are $20; livestream passes are $10.
