Mendon Hale grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri. While he has lived in many different cities and states (including Nashville and Texas), his heart and home were always in Missouri, where he resides once again. Throughout his diverse music career, Hale has lent his songwriting skills and musical expertise to numerous albums across various genres, including one RIAA Gold album in Japan.

​

In 2020, after a successful career in a touring rock band, Hale embraced his true musical identity as a country artist, embarking on a new chapter that best represents who he is today. He independently released a self-produced album, which set the stage for a fruitful collaboration with accomplished producer Marshall Altman. This partnership resulted in the 2021 EP Hand on the Heartland, which garnered widespread streaming appreciation and saw its music videos in rotation on CMT and The Country Network.

​

Hale reunited with Altman to embark on his eagerly anticipated second EP, Just Goodbye, released in January 2024. He is currently finishing up a new album expected for release in 2025, while continuing to captivate audiences with his live performances at venues across Texas and the Midwest.
