About Wendy Waldman

Vocalist. Songwriter. Composer. Producer.

Wendy Waldman, a critically acclaimed recording artist and multi-platinum songwriter, has built a diverse career spanning genres such as pop, R&B, country, film, jazz, and children's music. As one of the first prominent female record producers, Wendy is the daughter of composer and film music scholar Fred Steiner (noted for Perry Mason, Star Trek, and The Twilight Zone). She has co-written numerous hit songs, including Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" and "The Sweetest Days," Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Garth Brooks' "Fishin' in the Dark," Aaron Neville's "I Owe You One," Michael Martin Murphy's Wrangler Award-winning "Corn, Water, and Wood," and "I Want a Horse," a duet with Linda Ronstadt.

Wendy's debut solo album, Love Has Got Me (Warner Bros., 1973), was heralded by Rolling Stone as the "singer-songwriter debut of the year." Her 1982 album Which Way to Main Street (Epic Records) was included in The New York Times’ top 10 albums of the year.

As a producer, Wendy has worked on projects such as the ACMA Award-winning Somewhere Between (Suzy Bogguss), Friday Night in America (New Grass Revival featuring Béla Fleck, Sam Bush, John Cowan, and Pat Flynn), and Bryndle (featuring Wendy, Karla Bonoff, Andrew Gold, and Kenny Edwards). Her credits also include The Refugees, platinum-selling Polish vocalist Mietek Szcześniak, and the final album of acoustic jazz artist Artie Traum.

Wendy is currently a member of The Refugees alongside Cidny Bullens and Deborah Holland, as well as being a member and producer of the ongoing Ash Grove Alumni with Steve Moos and the late Joe Chambers (and now his nephew Jerry Chambers). She is working on a new studio album set for release in 2025.
