Are
you ready for some really great tunes? Then listen to this episode of
Liberal Arts with Mark Sutton as I am joined by the fabulous
singer/songwriter from New York, Leslie Mendelson.
Leslie's
first CD on the Rykodisc label comes out on June 30, and is filled with
some absolutely beautiful songs. Leslie has been featured as "An
Artist to Watch" by I Heart Radio, and when you listen to this
interview, you will know why.
For
you New Yorkers, she will be having a special CD Release party at The
Backroom, Tuesday June 30 at 7:30pm. The CD can be purchased in stores
or on Amazon.com, and for those who prefer downloads, find Leslie Mendelson
in the iTunes music store and purchase it there. To learn more about
Leslie Mendelson and to keep up on tour dates, visit her myspace page:

Leslie
performs at the Rockwood Music Hall in New York with James Maddock (left)
and Steve McEwan (right).
Maddock also performed in the band Wood and plays lead guitar on Swan
Feathers, and Steve McEwan,
who cowrote a number of the songs on the album, has also written hits
for Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw,
and Keith Urban, among others.
Special
thanks to Pamela Peeters and everyone at The Sustainable Planet Film
Festival. It was a truly enlightening day, and there were many amazing
