Waxahatchee is the moniker of American singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield, who embarked on her solo project in 2010, following the disbandment of her previous punk band, P.S. Eliot, which she formed with her twin sister Allison Crutchfield. The name 'Waxahatchee' comes from a creek near Katie's childhood home in Alabama, symbolizing a deep connection to her Southern roots which often permeate her introspective lyrics and storytelling.

With a discography that showcases a blend of indie rock, folk, and lo-fi influences, Waxahatchee has released several critically acclaimed albums. Crutchfield's vulnerability in her lyrical expression creates a resonant and confessional tone that has grown more poignant over time. Her 2020 release, "Saint Cloud," marked a stylistic shift towards a cleaner Americana-tinged sound, earning praise for its raw authenticity and understated grandeur, which further cemented Waxahatchee's place in the indie music pantheon. Notable for an evolving sound that ebbs and flows with her personal growth and experiences, Waxahatchee's music consistently receives attention for its sincerity, simplicity, and emotional resonance, resonating with audiences looking for reflection and catharsis in their musical journeys.
