“Wedl may be the only artist to name check Steven Tyler, Gillian Welch, and Korn … but listen to the lilting twang in her voice transform into a fierce cry … and you'll hear all of Wedl's many selves: the Midwestern Catholic school girl in her bedroom, the venom-laced DIY punk rocker, the Nashville country star arm-in-arm with a cowboy at the Honky Tonk.” — Stereogum, Artist To Watch  

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brennan Wedl announces her signing to ANTI- Records today with the release of a cover of the Kathleen Edwards classic “Six O’Clock News” featuring Waxahatchee.

"I first heard “Six O’Clock News” on the Cities 97 Sampler CD around 2003,” Wedl detailed. “There’s no doubt that this song shaped my songwriting voice. Originally written by Kathleen Edwards, “Six O’Clock News” is a story about the hysteria of gun violence in an American town. To record and sing this very contemporary story with Waxahatchee over twenty years later is a direct link to the very heart of why I play music. It’s an honor to be joining the ANTI- roster and I’m ecstatic to share what we’ve been working on."

Originally from Minneapolis but now based in Nashville, Wedl was previously in the band Dazey & the Scouts, which garnered a dedicated following with their only LP ‘Maggot’. Now embarking on a solo music career playing “grungetry” - a combination of grunge and country, with an indie rock lilt to boot – Wedl's “wistful vocals and fingerpicked acoustic guitar will feel nostalgic to anyone who’s left behind a traditional life to follow their dreams,” describes the Chicago Reader.

Upon hearing Wedl and Waxahatchee’s version of the song, Kathleen Edwards said: "I absolutely love this so much and am humbled that my song gets to live a new life with Katie and Brennan. 25 years ago, my audience looked a lot different than theirs does today - it’s incredibly cool to see young women love the songwriting that means so much to me, too.”

Wedl and Katie Crutchfield will continue to cover this song and others on the upcoming Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman co-headlining tour, which Wedl is opening, this April. All upcoming dates are listed below.

"Brennan and I really bonded over our mutual love for Kathleen Edwards's music,” Crutchfield says. “It’s such a powerful song with timeless appeal and I'm just thrilled to get to release our take on it."
