In her indie-alt country band Waxahatchee, Katie Crutchfield’s lo-fi folk embraces her Alabama upbringing while breaking away from the quaint Waxahatchee Creek into the mainstream. Across six critically acclaimed albums, the group has won audiences over through Americana storytelling, explorations of sobriety, and lessons learned along the way. The new album, Tigers Blood, is another collection of tracks true to the heart and full of grit. Opener Snail Mail features the soul-stirring songs of Lindsey Jordan, and kicking off the evening is Tim Heidecker, a musician best known for his work as a comedian, writer, and actor who has played in bands of various genres including ’70s soft rock and vintage pop.
