Two manic musicians in love on a mission to create joy, wonder, and kick ass music.
Ned and Wendy the Band is a Portland-based Glam-Folk duo - “glam-folk” being a made up term that the band and a friend accidentally coined at The Old Portland (and it just felt right).
Ned and Wendy the Band have released three albums, each album documenting its own uniquely ridiculous chapter of their lives - from falling in love remotely in quarantine to moving across the country to be together and hosting intimate house shows with entirely improvised second acts. Their latest album Back Around Again captures the ups, downs, ins , and outs of moving to a brand new city, beginning a brand new marriage, finding a brand new community, and realizing that, somehow, this new road still leads back to the same place: home. Back Around Again is available on all streaming platforms now!
Their 2021 musical documentary short film Welcome Home Ned and Wendy premiered at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. as one of eight finalists in the Emerging Young Voices in Film Festival, and it went on to win Best Romance Film in the 2021 Los Angeles Film Awards, as well as official selection in Dumbo Film Festival, Toronto Documentary Feature & Short Film Festival, and Cambria Film Festival of Romance, Love, and Rom-coms.
Lindsey and Jordan are also the hosts of the radio show City Hums - providing a platform for the wildly raw and talented musicians of Portland and beyond - on KXRW Vancouver 99.9FM. Recently, Lindsey and Jordan journeyed up to Seattle as the official media sponsor of the Northwest Folklife Festival, where they hosted live interviews with Mary Eliza, Strange & the Familiars, and Jet Black Pearl. Other artists featured on past episodes include Trinity Jane & Michael Easley, That Loathsome Devil, and Exceptional Failures.
With a love of community and connection, and a ~proclivity for songs that make you want to dance while crying, Ned and Wendy the Band are on a mission to create joy, wonder, and kick ass music.
