MJ Lenderman Reveals He’ll No Longer Tour With Wednesday, But Will Still Record With Band

MJ Lenderman revealed that he will no longer tour with Wednesday, but he will continue to take part in the group’s studio output.

MJ Lenderman reveals in a new interview that he will no longer tour with Wednesday — the Asheville indie rock band where he’s served as lead guitarist since 2018 — but he will continue to take part in the group’s studio output. In the GQ profile, Lenderman spilled that he recently played his last scheduled show with the group — a January 4 gig in Chiba, Japan — and that he and his girlfriend, Wednesday singer Karly Hartzman, broke up during that tour. MJ Lenderman and the Wind will spend the majority of 2025 out on the road in support of Manning Fireworks, with the band currently in the midst of a North American tour that runs through early March, after which they’ll head to Australia and Europe before returning stateside late April, then back to Europe, and then back to the U.S. for a string of gigs that includes a stop at Bonnaroo.
