Waxahatchee | SUPERB Productions Events | Berkeley

Waxahatchee will be performing in between appearances at Coachella on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 on Upper Sproul.

Waxahatchee is the solo project of indie-folk southern gem Katie Crutchfield. Crutchfield’s 2013 album Cerulean Salt launched Crutchfield from indie folk obscurity into the spotlight, earning Waxahatchee’s second LP a place on Stereogum, Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, Rolling Stone and nearly everybody else’s “Top 50 Albums of 2013” lists.

Crutchfield’s sound is difficult to place: At moments, Waxahatchee can be described as heart-breaking and beautiful, while at others, it feels much more like raw, smash-your-head-against-a-wall-because-you-feel-it-so-much folk rock. Don’t let the band’s name — taken from Waxahatchee Creek in Alabama — fool you into thinking Crutchfield’s sound is something you can’t rock out to.

Student folk band The New Tenants will be opening.
