Indie musical project Waxahatchee brought their soothing sounds to the stage at Riot Fest 2024. As a nice night two nightcap for many, they helped to bring the pace to a slower place, regulating nervous systems across Douglass Park. With a name that comes from lead singer and brainchild Katie Crutchfield’s beloved Waxahatchee Creek adventures from childhood, you already know you’re going to be in good company with this band and their fanbase.

We were thrilled to witness the magic of this act on such a beautiful evening in Chicago.
