WAXAHATCHEE IN CONCERT:
Brooklyn-based indie outfit Waxahatchee makes fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy music smoldering with raw emotion and pointed wit. Driving, distorted songs like "Coast to Coast" are spartan in their construction, employing little more than bass, guitar, and drums, but that doesn't detract from their impact. To the contrary, the band's elemental approach makes their music all the more powerful, allowing frontwoman Katie Crutchfield's searing vocals to really drive her confessional lyrics home. Whether Crutchfield is playing with her band or performing solo, she always delivers dynamic and passionate performances on tour, treating ticket buyers to an emotionally-charged concert experience they won't soon forget.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Waxahatchee is the brainchild of Alabama-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield. Crutchfield has been an indie scene mainstay since her early teens, playing in numerous short-lived projects including Bad Banana, the Ackleys, and an early solo project called King Everything. In 2012 she made her debut as Waxahatchee with the album American Wasteland, a lo-fi collection of highly personal songs recorded in her bedroom. The album was a critical success, landing on several year-end lists and drawing her out for extensive touring. She followed up in 2013 with her sophomore album Cerulean Salt, revealing a more polished sound that managed to retain the alluring DIY spirit of its predecessor. The album cemented Crutchfield's place as a critical darling, earning a Best New Music nod from Pitchfork and topping the Official Record Store Chart in the UK. Since then she has toured extensively in the US and UK, captivating fans both as a headlining act and an opener for Jenny Lewis.

The historic Lyric Theatre is so beautiful and a great venue for an intimate show. Good Morning was a great opening band from Australia that I had not heard of and their performance was great. Then Waxahatchee came out and put on a great show. The entire band sounded fantastic. The only complaint I have in intimate venues like this is that people sit in their seats. I think you should stand up and sing along and dance and have a great time. Get up out of your seats!!!
My second time; saw her in 2015. Katie’s the real deal Her band is suuuper slick, the harmonies dead on, the crowd so tuned in to every song- everyone loves Katie!! If you like the new album, tigers blood, then run do not walk to the show. Her catalogue gets deeper and her albums garner new fans without losing the old. Her next album will prob slay so you’ll be jonesing for those older/deep cuts. Better to err on the side of caution and go see Waxahatchee if you can.
Waxahatchee (Katie Crutchfield) is an awesome singer/song-writer and was back by a group of very talented musicians. The show was fantastic!
One of the greatest shows of my lifetime. Imagine if Amy Winehouse covered Dolly Parton, if Tina Turner went country, and you'll have some idea of the genre-bending experience of Waxahatchee live. She isn't doing "folk,""country,""or "pop": she's doing it all. That country sound that everybody's raving about on Beyonce's new album? Waxahatchee has been doing it full-stop for her past 2 albums and she does it better (!).
Katie Crutchfield & Co. were amazing at the Orpheum in Boston on Friday night (April 26). And so was the roadie who changed out a footlight in between songs like a pit crew boss. “Tiger’s Blood” deserves a Grammy.
I LOVE THE SHOW! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGIAN IN THE FUTURE AND TIGERS BLOOD NO.1!!!!!!
I was seated behind someone with a very large head of hair. As a result, my view was badly blocked. And since Ms. Crutchfield never really left her personal pedestal, I really didn’t see much of her (nor of the rest of the band). So in future, I’m likely to stick to buying Waxahatchee CDs (itself a feat of determination inside Canada.)
5 stars for sure.Made for a room full of happy people
Fantastic show! Great sound and song selection! 10/10
