Waxahatchee is an indie rock/folk project formed by Katie Crutchfield in 2010. Named after Waxahatchee Creek in Alabama, USA, the project showcases Crutchfield's raw and introspective songwriting. With a unique blend of heartfelt lyrics and melodic guitar-driven soundscapes, Waxahatchee has gained critical acclaim for their honest and evocative music.
Since its inception, Waxahatchee has released several albums that have resonated with fans worldwide. From the intimate and confessional "American Weekend" to the more polished and expansive "Ivy Tripp," each release showcases Crutchfield's growth as a songwriter and musician.
With their captivating live performances, Waxahatchee has toured extensively across North America and Europe, building a dedicated fanbase along the way. Their music speaks to those who appreciate authenticity and vulnerability in art, making them a standout presence in the indie rock/folk scene.

Katie Crutchfield's southern roots are undeniable. The name of her solo musical project Waxahatchee comes from a creek not far from her childhood home in Alabama and seems to represent both where she came from and where she's going. Waxahatchee's latest record, Ivy Tripp, drifts confidently from its predecessors and brings forth a more informed and powerful recognition of where Crutchfield has currently found herself. The lament and grieving for her youth seem to have been replaced with control and sheer self-honesty. "My life has changed a lot in the last two years, and it's been hard for me to process my feelings other than by writing songs," says Crutchfield. "I think a running theme [of Ivy Tripp] is steadying yourself on shaky ground and reminding yourself that you have control in situations that seem overwhelming, or just being cognizant in moments of deep confusion or sadness, and learning to really feel emotions and to grow from that." Recorded and engineered by Kyle Gilbride of Wherever Audio at Crutchfield's home on New York's Long Island—with drums recorded in the gym of a local elementary school—Ivy Tripp presents a more developed and aged version of Waxahatchee. "The title Ivy Tripp is really just a term I made up for directionless-ness, specifically of the 20-something, 30-something, 40-something of today, lacking regard for the complaisant life path of our parents and grandparents. I have thought of it like this: [Waxahatchee's last album] Cerulean Salt is a solid and Ivy Tripp is a gas."
