I don’t know how such a sweet simple sound can keep a burning urge in my belly to cry or scream. She’s wonderful and I’m incredibly excited to see finally see her live.
REALLY???people are complaining about her haircut..get a grip people...close your eyes and listen if you don't like the haircut...or better yet don't do either.....she is amazingly talented
To the people who keep complaining about the amp not being on or the amp being too low, you should look into Waxahatchee before you judge her. Her first album American Weekend is supposed to have a low fi sound hence her choosing to not turn on the amp.
Hers is a Squier 51, a very well recognized model from the company, because it's the only model Squier does which it's not a cheaper version of its big brother model. In fact, Fender tried a Fender 51, which was an "upgraded" version of the Squier 51 and it failed. Besides, Squier made some models made in Japan which are highly sought after, like the Vista series and the most recent Classic Vibe models.
Well said, sir. Raw as fuck is the way to describe this. Honest and pure. Genuine lo-fi. A full length of her would be awesome. Uncomfortable but awesome, in the old way of the word.
Watching this almost 11 years later is so inspiring. Saw her and her band live two days ago- how far she's come! But still the same excellent, sensitive songwriter.
What a unique voice. I like her song Fire...check it out, it's on RUclips. And another song of hers has a great music video of very modern dance inspired spontaneous kinda movement, very expressive. This NPR performance felt super stripped-down and vulnerable. Yay for us poets...it's brave work being in touch with and sharing from the heart. And I support anyone doing whatever clothes, hair, tattoo, etc. style they choose to express themselves.
I feel at peace listening to this. Awesome voice, I think it's interesting how many people on TDC close their eyes during their performance...I honestly think the ones who do have more emotion in their voice.
truly a legend, and finally getting the awareness she deserves. listen to her album 'Saint Cloud" if you haven't yet. backed by detroit band Bonny Doon, she takes on a new alternative folk americana sound and blessed our ears with the best album of 2020. (right next to Delta Spirit's "What Is There" album)
to quote another youtuber on a Fionn Regan video I'd have to call this 'quantifiably hipster fuck-folk' and I mean that in the most loving and excited way
What happened to that female trio/quartet from Europe? They wore very traditional garb that involved those fuzzy hats. It is not part of this NPR playlist.
We need an updated version this year!

Yea that haircut is awful
Anyone who thinks this haircut is terrible clearly wasn’t conscious in the early 2010s
Who cares about her hair or looks. The songs are horrible.
Such a solid songwriter! With a wonderful sense of time and space.
So beautiful in it's simplicity. She's so shy, captivating and natural. Lovely performance and great lyrics.
I'd be shy if they mixed out my guitar too
i wish i could've been here, she's one of the most original and unique singer songwriters i've heard in a long time
Interesting decision keeping the guitar so decidedly non-amplified. Enhances her voice/lyrics. Nice.
fantastic! I wish tiny desk had more of these raw lesser known goodies. What a gateway to discovering great music!
Bathtub is way too good.

So "lo fi" means playing live to the public with a ridiculously low volume? That's a first.
My heart is swelling so much with feels I can't can't even begin to describe it's intensity. So beautiful.
The Internet: A place where songwriters can bare their souls in front of strangers and be rewarded by comments about their haircut
To be fair, nobody cares about your soul
Hey Daniel...that's just RUclips bullshit. Matters not, she's great.
Please NPR we need Waxahatchee back
Hands down, this is my absolute favorite version of this song. I love it, even if it is sad.
It was as if she were playing alone in her room. I loved this. Katie is my favorite! Ever since king everything
Here from the segment that ran this morning with Katie and her sister Allison. I heard some samples of her stuff and had to come here. Glad I did.
who still listening to this in 2057?
Me!
No one.
..perfect and beautiful. thank you katie crutchfield.
(santa crz, ca)
I like to see professional musicians playing Squier's. It makes me not feel bad about playing a Mexican Strat.
Squier's are on the up and up it seems!

Sounds like a girl version of the guy from Neutral Milk Hotel...I love it.
This is raw as fuck and I'm uncomfortable but I love it.

this version of bathtub is ethereal
JUST LOVE HER HAIRCUT

GREAT stuff!
FYI: If you can't hear her guitar, clean your ears out or see an ENT Specialist immediately!
Came here for the haircut comments, was not disappoint.
But love her music.
I saw this woman out in Sonoma last night, and she and the rest of the band were incredible.
one of the best concerts ive ever experienced, out in la :)
Saw Waxahatchee on Colbert. Really impressed.
truly a legend, and finally getting the awareness she deserves. listen to her album 'Saint Cloud" if you haven't yet. backed by detroit band Bonny Doon, she takes on a new alternative folk americana sound and blessed our ears with the best album of 2020.

The best music hurts to listen to, and this is no exception
LOL
Awesome performance! Great voice, beautiful songs!
She went from this performance to someday being one of my favorite performers in like 7 years
wow! a $150 Squier 51 . Cool guitars. Sounds nice
I noticed that right away. I couldn't make mine sound decent at all.
Her guitar isn't even plugged in?! I love it, ver Dylan at Newport Folk Fest
I met Kevin Morby recently. Had no idea he was dating Waxahatchee and that she was sitting right next to him
She got that weird squier making it sound great.
god, I love waxhatchee. and i'm in love with Katie crutchfield. even before I this video and realized she also had a bunch of badass tattoos
I am so happy to see this video is a thing.
The Plains - album was incredible!
And where the hell has this been my whole life!!!
god bathtub is heart-wrenching lol
oh my goodness that voice that stance that guitar work excellent again i can only thank you
to quote another youtuber on a Fionn Regan video I'd have to call this 'quantifiably hipster fuck-folk' and I mean that in the most loving and excited way
three of my favorites :) thanks katie
Regarding the comments about her guitar volume being low: Maybe they forgot to balance the levels of her mic with her guitar on the mixing board?
It is purposeful that her guitar volume is low.
go girl! have fun!
Waxahatchee is wonderful.
Her smile when she finishes a song.
I really enjoy this song
One bad haircut immortalized forever on RUclips.
Love it.
Interesting to see someone using a Squier 51 - and there's something to be said for spare and simple guitar playing.
i have never felt so seen by words before
This young woman hypnotizes me. I can't turn it off!
im here because of lauren mayberry :P
guitar is so sick, so is she. so awesome
Beautiful
You can hear her Alabama accent... just a little bit.
Your awesome i love you voice!
WOW! PLAYING AN UN-AMPLIFIED ELECTRIC GUITAR IS GENIUS!
Just so beautiful, stripped back and perfect x
So purely beautiful
Yeah, delightful.
Just perfect xx
Fantastic voice. Woeful haircut
Cos her voice is SO changed by her haircut. Why would that be relevant to her voice whatsoever?
Like she or anyone else cares what you think about her haircut.
oh man. i kinda love her haircut.
I clicked on the video because I loved the haircut! hahaha
Says the dudes with shitty haircuts and lame hats. Why don't you go live in the mountains somewhere an stop bothering people. Coward.
so nice.
awesome:)
she is fantastic live, my my
Simply Tangled !!!!!!!
This is painfully horrible to listen to....
God Bless the Pixies.
gorgeous...
So so gorgeous
and i love her.
sweet and simple..
from the heart
Sad. This makes me sad. Like Peter Murphy sad.
get her back on!!
great
What do y’all think about this now?
gby
this girls too good for a damn mexican strat! get one made in cali
Glad somebody pointed it out, I was shocked to see she's playing a Squier! Somebody get her a Fender!
her hairdo reminds me of my girlfriend. I'm serious.
I feel bad for your girlfriend.
I would recommend switching to showers.

oh my
🩵🩵🩵🩵
🔥🔥🔥
are you still listening every day
This voice is amazing
0:52 💘❣
👇👇👇👇🔥
Who cut her hair? her dog?
Love the song though.
She doesn't have a dog.
Goddamn dynamite
Uuuuuuuh. wow
XOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
lmao squier?
+Ernesto Hendrix player for 15 years. still love my Squier.
+Ernesto Hendrix Guitar brand snobbery?
+David Johnston I'm really more surprised that she, as a professional musician, still using a Squier
It seems to work fine for her. Look at the music coming out, not the markings on the guitar.
David Johnston alright i guess i should look at music more often. what is your favorite music to look at?
Trust fund?
Who is this heffa???
2024
great voice, bad haircut.
Here's a tip: fuck off. You're hair looks like shit and you simply are just that, shit.
I like the haircut
I threw up in my mouth a little bit srs.
