McKenna Mendelson Mainline
Michael McKenna, previously with Luke & the Apostles and the Ugly Ducklings, formed McKenna Mendelson Mainline with Joe Mendelson (vocals, guitar, bass, harmonica), Tony Nolasco (vocals, drums), and Frank Sheppard (vocals, bass, mandolin, harmonica). After Stink (1968) and Canada, Our Home and Native Land (1971), the band shortened their name to Mainline and called it quits soon after. Two post-breakup albums appeared in 1972 and 1973: The Mainline Bumb N Grine Revue Live and Biscuit Meets Mainline. Joe Mendelson's first solo album, Mr. Middle of the Road, appeared in 1972. Michael McKenna and Tony Nolasco later formed Diamondback. A reunion album with McKenna called No Substitute was released in 2017. Joe Mendelson, who also recorded as Mendelson Joe, died on February 7, 2023 at the age of 78.
