Mark Jacob Lenderman (born February 4, 1999), also known as MJ Lenderman and Jake Lenderman, is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His style has been described as indie rock and alternative country. Alongside his solo career, Lenderman is a member of the indie rock band Wednesday, with whom he has recorded four studio albums: Twin Plagues (2021), Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'Em Up (2022), Rat Saw God (2023) and Bleeds (2025). He is currently a non-touring member of the band, after taking a step back from live performances in 2025 to focus on his solo career. Lenderman's solo career began to gain traction with his 2022 album, Boat Songs, followed by 2024's Manning Fireworks, which was released to widespread critical acclaim. During live performances, Lenderman is joined by his backing band the Wind, which includes bandmates Landon George (bass, fiddle), Jon Samuels (guitar), Xandy Chelmis (pedal steel), Ethan Baechtold (keys), and Colin Miller (drums). Described by Waxahatchee frontwoman Katie Crutchfield as one of her "most trusted collaborators," Lenderman contributed significantly to Waxahatchee's sixth studio album, Tigers Blood (2024), and became a member of her band Snocaps in 2025, releasing one self-titled studio album in October that same year.
