Wendy Webb
"I’m an Iowa girl, we had a big family and an old upright piano. When I first heard Dusty Springfield’s voice I knew I wanted to sing. My Dad bought me the record and a guitar, my Mom got me a Joan Baez songbook of classic English Ballads and I taught myself to play. After I left home Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell albums were constant companions. Other poets such as Leonard Cohen, Robbie Robertson, John Lennon, Jackson Browne, and Bob Dylan inspired me, as well as The Philadelphia Sound, Bill Evans, and the genius of Miles Davis".
"To create anything I have to be in the moment. I’d like to think that whoever is listening to my music feels that I’m in the room with them, singing for them, that I’m their friend. That vibe or feeling is what brings us together".
"Composing music or writing lyrics happens when I’m alone in a room with the door closed. That space becomes sacred. I have to have time to linger at the piano or with my guitar and see what happens. Music usually comes first and that sparks a lyric but I have done it the other way around when my Nashville friend and poet, Charles John Quarto, sends me a lyric and we end up with a song neither of us would have written without that collaboration. Mark Keller and I have also written many wonderful songs.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Relocating from the midwest to Los Angeles was pivotal for Webb when she was fortunate to meet Joni Mitchell’s engineer, Henry Lewy, who offered her studio time and mentoring. She recalls, “That’s when I learned about recording and my own performance”. Wendy’s voice can be heard on “Lonely Teardrops” by Blue Oyster Cult and ”Loving Time” by Michael Martin Murphey. While signed to Columbia, Epic and later Ariola Eurodisc labels, her band played the classic Troubadour, Whiskey a Go Go, Palomino Club and the Golden Bear and continued to perform solo at venues around the city.
Wendy found greater access to top studio musicians in Nashville and a comfortable environment in which to record. “Having a house in town made the recordings more organic and it was convenient for studio players to stop by the house after their day sessions to play on what I thought were some artful demos”. Those demos became Morning in New York, released in 2003. It was Webb’s first solo album. Her songs, “Driving In A Dream” and “My Baby” received honors in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and “Camden Town” placed top ten in the Lilith Fair Songwriting Competition.
Webb says, “Moving to SW Florida gave me a fresh start and a boost”. Inspired by trips to Cuba in 2007 and 2008, she released Moon On Havana in 2009 followed by Edge Of Town in 2011, both garnering critical acclaim. Her next two records, This Is The Moment and Step Out Of Line, brought even greater recognition internationally. “This lady has made an album of absolute world class”- Holly Moors, NL. “This is Premier Division song writing. Add to that a glorious voice and faultless production values”- Simon Redley, UK. Wendy has been a guest on NPR’s WGCU with Amy Tardif, performed for the Florida House in Washington, DC, recorded at Radio Progreso, Havana, played Harry’s Bar in Paris, the Bitter End NYC and concerts at BIG ARTS, Sanibel Island.
Webb began recordings for Silver Lining at a studio close to her island home with accomplished musician producers Danny Morgan and John McLane. Before the album could be completed, a catastrophic hurricane hit Sanibel Island leaving her, and so many others, homeless. Fortunately, the studio was spared. Wendy says, “It has taken us extra effort, time and love to finish this album and Silver Lining feels like a real celebration”.
Webb is married to New York Times best-selling author, Randy Wayne White and currently in the process of rebuilding their home on Sanibel.
