Waxahatchee is an American indie music project, formed in 2010 by American singer-songwriter Kathryn Crutchfield[2] (born January 4, 1989), known professionally as Katie Crutchfield, following the breakup of her previous band P.S. Eliot. The band is named after Waxahatchee Creek in Alabama, where Crutchfield grew up.[3] Originally an acoustic solo project, her recordings now tend to involve a full backing band.

As Waxahatchee, she has released six solo studio albums to date: American Weekend (2012), Cerulean Salt (2013), Ivy Tripp (2015), Out in the Storm (2017), Saint Cloud (2020) and Tigers Blood (2024), which was nominated for the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Americana Album. Away from Waxahatchee, Crutchfield was also a member of alternative country duo Plains alongside Jess Williamson.
