Mindy Jostyn began playing piano at two, playing the tunes she heard from the neighborhood ice cream truck. As a child she lived on both coasts; San Jose, California then Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Her wise mother encouraged but never pushed her gift. At eleven, Mindy formed her first band, the Tigers. In addition to piano she now plays accordion, violin, guitar and harmonica.

Mindy has plenty of album and tour credits including John Mellencamp, Cyndi Lauper, John Bon Jovi, Pat Benetar and Carly Simon.
For "Remember the Ladies" Mindy and her husband Jacob Brackman started with research compiled by History Happens' Mary Rouse and created the lyrics and music for the song. The bass and drum tracks were created in New York by Tony Coniff then were sent to Mindy on Martha's Vineyard where she was rehearsing with the Carly Simon band.
The song "Remember the Ladies" was recorded and mixed on Martha's Vineyard by Jim Parr and was sent via the Internet to be included in this Web site.
Other music by Mindy Jostyn can be found on her CDs Five Miles from Hope and Cedar Lane.
