BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Waxahatchee

“She’s distinguished herself through her poignant lyrics sung through an ever-present twang, never shying away from her Southern roots — and an admiration for Lucinda Williams.” – Associated Press

Katie Crutchfield, AKA Waxahatchee, is one of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the game. She was born in Alabama, grew up near Waxahatchee Creek. Skipped town and struck out on her own as Waxahatchee. That was over a decade ago. Crutchfield says she never knew the road would lead her here, but after six critically acclaimed albums, she’s never felt more confident in herself as an artist. While her sound has evolved from lo-fi folk to lush alt-tinged country, her voice has always remained the same. Honest and close, poetic with Southern lilting. Much like Carson McCullers’s Mick Kelly, determined in her desires and convictions, ready to tell whoever will listen.
