Wednesday Share New Single ' Elderberry Wine ' Single + Video
Wednesday, the North Carolina rock band led by generational songwriter Karly Hartzman, share a twangy and timeless new single titled 'Elderberry Wine,' alongside a video directed by Spencer Kelly.
''Elderberry Wine' is about the potential for sweet things in life (love, family, success) to become poison if not prepared for and attended to correctly,' Hartzman explains.
'Elderberry is known as a healing fruit, and is an ingredient in many tonics and syrups to aid the immune system. One time however, my sister consumed them raw and it immediately induced vomiting. So 'Elderberry Wine' is ultimately a love song about creating just the right environment for fulfillment. There's a delicate balance that needs to be created, especially in love, for two lives to intersect without poisoning each other."
'Elderberry Wine' is the first taste of new music from Wednesday since the release of their breakthrough album Rat Saw God. The album was one of 2023's most critically acclaimed releases, landing on year end lists at the New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, LA Times, The Altantic, The Ringer, The FADER, Paste, Consequence, Stereogum and more.
Wednesday is Karly Hartzman, MJ Lenderman, Xandy Chelmis, Alan Miller, and Ethan Baechtold.
Of the video, director Spencer Kelly says ' We shot most of this music video at The Bench, Greensboro's second-oldest bar and easily one of its most vibrant. On any given day, you'll find people there from all walks of life swapping stories beneath the music blasting overhead. We came in with some specific scripted scenes, but we wanted to capture the bar as authentically as possible—so everyone you see in the video is a regular, including Karly's dad, George. This video is a bit of a love letter to places like this, where the sense of community runs deep and the beers are always cold.'

From Diddy to Trump: The NY courtroom artist who's sketched them all
From Mafia bosses and Hollywood predators to crypto criminals and presidents, New York courtrooms have seen it all. But unlike New Zealand courtrooms, news cameras are not allowed in The Empire State's judicial precincts. That means there are two main ways for the news to report inside the courtroom of some of the biggest criminal and civil cases ever – one of those methods is typing out court reports (or for the old school journos, filling out notepads with shorthand). The other option is creating courtroom art. Kiwis have probably seen a lot of these from our reporting over the years of US court cases. These cartoon-styled images have to do many things at once. Capture a moment. Convey a feeling. Show a story. All with the same journalistic rules of fairness, accuracy, and balance. ADVERTISEMENT A courtroom sketch by Jane Rosenberg. (Source: 1News) It's a craft that few ever take their hand to, and even fewer perfect. But one of the country's most prolific and well-respected courtroom artists is Jane Rosenberg. I caught up with her after court finished for the day during the trial of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, known as P Diddy. "I did all the big cases there ever were here in New York," she told me. "John Gotti — mafia, Martha Stewart, police brutality cases, all the terrorism cases we've had. And all the MeToo cases. I did Cosby two times; I did Harvey Weinstein. R Kelly and now P Diddy — and Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein," she listed. That list grows longer by the year – Rosenberg has also covered Donald Trump's trials, crypto-boss Sam Bankman-Fried, and Sarah Palin's defamation case against the New York Times. A court sketch from Donald Trump's trial. (Source: Breakfast) ADVERTISEMENT Around 45 years after creating her first piece, she told me it was a career she fell into — almost by accident. "I was always an artist — I was a starving artist, drawing Rembrandt and Vermeer right on the sidewalk with a hat out for money for the 10 years after I graduated college. I didn't know how to make money,' she said. "And then I went to a lecture by another courtroom artist at the Society of Illustrators. And I said 'oh, this looks like so much fun. I'd love to do that. I just don't know if I'm good enough'." A lawyer friend took her to night court – not far from where we chatted – and bombarded the court officers with questions. Where do the artists sit? What do they bring? Eventually they told her to come back in a week, and they'd let her sit with the media. After phoning around – including the new TV startup CNN - she struck gold with NBC. "They said come in and show us what you got – and then they kept calling me and the other stations kept calling me. That's how it all started."
