## Summary

Karly Hartzman of the band Wednesday played a solo set at a North Carolina get-out-the-vote event supporting Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper. She debuted an unidentified song that may later become a Wednesday track and covered Neil Young, bringing local musicians together for a campaign event ahead of the midterm election.

The Friday night event took place at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro and also featured Hiss Golden Messenger, Tift Merritt, Watchhouse, Viv & Riley and Davie Circle, alongside Governor Josh Stein and Justice Anita Earls. Hartzman performed five songs, including three Wednesday tracks, and introduced her cover of Young’s 1975 song “Barstool Blues” as a patriotic choice because Young is Canadian.
