Waxahatchee — KEXP, 2017

Live session by Waxahatchee recorded at the KEXP radio studios in Seattle (United States) in 2017. Behind the name is Katie Crutchfield, an American singer-songwriter whose intimate writing, on the border between indie folk and rock, has won over critics. In KEXP’s cherished ‘Full Performance’ format — several songs played live, captured with remarkable sonic and visual care — the artist delivers a stripped-back filmed live concert centred on her voice and her songs. Between bright guitars, melancholy melodies and lyrics of great precision, this live captation illustrates the quiet strength of one of the most respected writers on the independent scene of the 2010s. KEXP sessions are renowned for their authenticity: no gimmicks, just music played in the studio in front of the microphones. For fans of folk, indie and songwriting, this live performance is a fine entry point into Waxahatchee’s world and a precious record of her stagecraft, ‘Waxahatchee KEXP full performance live’.
