Kendall Jane Meade

endall Jane Meade is a solo artist and founder of the band Mascott. Jon Pareles of The New York Times once wrote “If Aimee Mann had fended off cynicism, she might sound like Kendall Meade…turn(ing) folk-rock into stately pop, wrapping vulnerability and longing in quietly radiant arrangements” and Spin Magazine claims Meade hails straight “from the Carly Simon School of Confessional Songwriting.“ Meade’s influences include 60s & 70s folk and pop songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Francoise Hardy, Margot Guryan, Carole King, Christine McVie, and indie pop icons like Camera Obscura and The Softies.

An accomplished singer and musician who has contributed to albums or played/sang live with Sparklehorse, Helium, The Spinanes, Lloyd Cole, Gramercy Arms, Anders Parker, Stars, and more, Meade’s original songs have been featured on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Chuck. Her most recent collaborations include songs with Kris Gruen, Leroy From The North, and an EP of John Prine covers with Jon Derosa of Aarktica. She has recently completed her new solo album, SPACE, produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields, Bones of J.R. Jones, Soko) which will be released on Mother West in late February 2025.
