Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) & Kevin Morby Playing Instagram Live Show for Quarantine Relief


Indie music power couple, Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatchee) and Kevin Morby, are lending their voices to the quarantine relief effort. From their Midwest bunker, the duo will take to Instagram Live tonight to commune with fans and play some songs. The hangout kicks off at 9pm ET/6pm PT at Kevin’s Instagram.

Both Katie and Kevin’s tour schedules have been upended by the coronavirus. Kevin, who was in the middle of his Oh My God world tour, canceled his April shows. There’s no word on whether his Europe tour, which is set to launch June 27 in France, is a go. He also has two dates in August at Red Rocks with Nathaniel Rateliff still on the books.

Kevin recently released a 7″ with two songs previously only available to fans who purchased the Oh My God pre-order bundle. You can stream/purchase the “Gift Horse” b/w “I Was On Time” 7″ here.

As for Katie, her situation is a little more heartbreaking. She has been prepping for the release of her sobering new album, Saint Cloud, which drops March 27 via Merge. Now, she won’t be able to get out on the road to promote it until after all the virus stuff passes. Rather than cancel, she has postponed her April and May North American dates. The European leg, which gets underway in June, is still on the table.

Katie has shared videos for three songs off the record, “Can’t Do Much,” “Lilacs,” and “Fire.” You can find all three below. Katie wrote Saint Cloud right after her decision to get sober, and it’s described as being “an unflinching self-examination.” You can pre-order the album here.

For their interactive online gig, Kevin announced it via Instagram:

Tomorrow Thursday March 19 at 8 PM CST Katie and I will play some songs on IG Live. We will take some calls and requests and just generally be hanging out having a good time. Excited to hear from you. If you live in Europe I know this is very late for your time zone but I will have more announcements in the coming days about another performance that’ll work for you. Hope everyone is staying safe and sane out there. See you soon xxxx

Tune in to Instagram at 9pm ET/6pm PT, tonight (Thursday, March 19), for the interactive show. For fans in Europe, the pair plan to play another show next week at an earlier time.
