Wendy Waldman Bio

Wendy Waldman is recognized as one of the leading recording artists and songwriters in music, beginning with her acclaimed solo LPs on Warner Bros. and later as a member of Bryndle (with fellow members Karla Bonoff, Andrew Gold, and Kenny Edwards). She has co-written dozens of songs for other artists, including Vanessa Williams’ “Save the Best for Last,” The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s (and later Garth Brooks’) “Fishin’ in the Dark,” and Aaron Neville’s “I Owe You One.” Her songs have also been recorded by Kenny Rogers, Alison Krauss, Linda Ronstadt, Robert Smith of The Cure, Kathy Mattea, Maria Muldaur, Kim Carnes, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Melissa Manchester, Johnny Mathis, Percy Sledge, CeCe Winans, Michael Martin Murphey, Bill Miller, and many more.

Wendy is highly regarded for her work as a record producer, overseeing countless projects across multiple genres. She began producing during her years in Nashville, working with artists including Suzy Bogguss, New Grass Revival, Bryndle, Karla Bonoff, John Cowan, Jonathan Edwards, The Forester Sisters, Ronny Cox, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, H.B. Barnum and Life Choir, ShyBoy, Hypnogaja, and international pop star Mietek Szczesniak.

In recent years, she has produced The HercuLeons featuring John Cowan and Andrea Zonn, The Refugees, Jared Stein, and The Ash Grove Alumni, featuring the late Joe Chambers of The Chambers Brothers and other notable musicians.

A lot of music gets made at The Longhouse, her hilltop studio in Los Angeles, where she continues to write, record, and collaborate.

Wendy is a member of The Ash Grove Alumni and The Refugees with Deborah Holland and Cidny Bullens. She performs regularly with both groups as well as producing their albums, while continuing to write and perform as a solo artist.

Her forthcoming solo album, Caretakers, will be released in 2026.
