    EPISODE 3

    Greg Mendez (St. Ides Heaven)

    Joining us for episode three of the season is Greg Mendez. Greg is a musician based in Philadelphia, who began making music in 2006. Although he had been playing for some time already, it was the success of Greg's 2023 self-titled album that brought him greater recognition. After releasing that album he also joined the Dead Oceans label, which he then released his EP First Time/Alone under.  Like many others, I got to know his music after hearing his self-titled record and became a big fan, so it was great to have this opportunity to speak to him.  Hope you enjoy it!
