Waxahatchee performed as part of Salt Lake City’s Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan Center on Wednesday, Aug 9, 2025, and it was a gorgeous evening to be in the audience. Lead singer Kathryn Crutchfield was in great spirits, casually offering many new favorites from the Grammy-nominated Tigers Blood (“3 Sisters,” “Right Back To It,” “Crowbar”), even including a few from Crutchfield’s other band Plains, a colossal 23 tunes in all. Strange revelation of the evening? Had the distinct thought in the middle of the concert that the band sounded more like Kathleen Edwards than I’d ever previously thought. Had a second thought that the two should never be on the same bill, as they sounded a bit too much like one another. A few songs later, the universe laughed: Waxahatchee did a cover of Edwards’ “Six o’clock News.” They killed the cover, of course, and I spent the remainder of the night trying to figure out what it all meant. Sometimes it’s better not to know, to just bask in what was and find joy in doing that. Speaking of joy, the very next concert in the series is Mt. Joy next Tuesday. See you there?
