Waxahatchee Announces 2021 US Tour with Katy Kirby

While live music’s return is still several months (and millions of vaccinations) off, it’s getting increasingly difficult to restrict our excitement to mere cautious optimism. Waxahatchee, aka singer/songwriter Katie Crutchfield, threw gasoline on that crackling fire Wednesday with the announcement that she’ll be touring the U.S. this fall in support of her career-best 2020 record Saint Cloud. She’ll be supported by another Paste-favorite artist in Nashville-via-Texas singer/songwriter Katy Kirby, whose debut album Cool Dry Place is an early 2021 standout.

Pandemic permitting, Crutchfield and Kirby’s tour begins in Louisville, Kentucky in early September, with a (Waxahatchee-only) appearance at the recently detailed 20th-anniversary Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on Sept. 3, and two-night stands in Portland, Oregon (Sept. 18-19), Austin, Texas (Sept. 29-30) and Brooklyn, New York (Oct. 12-13). The run wraps up with an Oct. 16 show in Boston.

Crutchfield recently marked one year of Saint Cloud’s release with Saint Cloud +3, an expanded reissue featuring covers of Lucinda Williams, Dolly Parton and Bruce Springsteen songs. The original album was Paste’s #2 album of last year, while Kirby’s debut was one of our favorite albums of February 2021.

See Crutchfield and Kirby’s full tour slate below. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 16, at 10 a.m. ET.
