Waxahatchee

Waxahatchee, the professional moniker of Alabama-born artist Katie Crutchfield, is a powerhouse of contemporary storytelling known for her incisive wit and raw, Southern-inflected delivery. Rising from the DIY punk underground of Birmingham, she gained international acclaim with her 2020 masterpiece Saint Cloud, a vulnerable exploration of sobriety and resilience that earned comparisons to icons like Lucinda Williams. Her 2024 follow-up, Tigers Blood, solidified her status as a premier voice in Americana, earning a Grammy Award nomination for Best Americana Album and topping critical "best of" lists. Beyond her musical accolades, Waxahatchee is a fixture in the creative variety space, frequently bridging the gap between music and comedy. She has co-headlined high-profile benefit shows with comedian Caleb Hearon, appeared on the comedy podcast improv4humans, and hosts annual "Sweet Sixteen" variety concerts with actress D’Arcy Carden featuring guests like Bowen Yang and Will Forte.
