Joanie Mendenhall has been involved in the San Diego music community for several years, creating her own unique take on pop songwriting. The San Diego Union-Tribune says Mendenhall's most recent album “On a String,” “combines pop smarts with a keen melodic sense and an inviting old-school sensibility that favors patience and quality over slick formulas and audio artifice." Always up for a collaboration, Mendenhall has contributed keyboards and vocals to numerous other bands and artists, including John Meeks, Correatown and Matt Curreri (The Exfriends).
