Cheryl Waters is a treasure

[@martinc9033]

love her!

[@bobsana4590]

I dig her

[@shawnreynolds7978]

The loveliest lady ever. She's just so sweet.

[@wowzerz456]

i think a bit ago she had a cancer scare? and i'm just so glad she's okay and thriving, i love her 🥺

[@christophervansise4650]

She's the best!!!

[@jamiebaker1437]

Bass player singing harmony is the not-so-low-key MVP. I'm glad they have her angled in the background most of the time. Love you KEXP!

[@Pixelkip]

as a bass player my jaw dropped absolute legend

[@gaylawebster-chewning3233]

I would just imagine she’s living her dream!

[@MarkHiew]

Does that just mean "MVP"?

[@alwinter]

Right?! Any idea who she is?

[@kimdody]

I saw them live recently and she was a boss.

[@itsROMPERS...]

It's amazing how often KEXP live performances are better than the albums.

[@NKB_POE]

Ohh It's the bassist that also played for Weyes Blood,her singing always spot on enhance the main vocal!

[@hlahla9479]

She’s in so many bands. She reminds me how important it is to sing from the creative living heart, it’s hard to explain, but yeah, she’s go “IT”. Thank the Lord for her and for sharing her gift 💎

[@azoriusmage]

Such a gorgeous songs by some hugely talented people. Makes me cry listening

[@Logan-wv8qf]

Made me cry too!

[@jamesculnan3144]

Just discovered her on Colbert. A few minutes into the video . . . this sounds great! Something very unique about her -- an original.

[@timtimtimtim83]

Saw them in Brisbane last time.... This is a band at the top of their game. Amazing 😍

[@NishantPinto]

Gonna watch this band play in Sydney Opera House today, stoked!

[@timtimtimtim83]

Jealous! Brisbane last night was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MattHarris85]

What an incredible album that is. One of the best of the last few years

[@trailzable]

I could give this 10,000 thumbs ups!

[@vaquero4495]

This drummer is fantastic.

[@darraghkelly1121]

St Cloud is a masterpiece. My favourite album of recent years. I've been waiting for this performance more than I knew.

[@jamisonlamkin5576]

The end of Ruby Falls always makes me tear up a bit, gives me chills.

[@masonwoltz4351]

Same.

[@mimroses965]

same

[@pete5534]

Something I love more than one bird singing is two - terrific.

[@genemoranmusic]

Timeless songs, great band, and beautiful harmonies ❤

[@dansburns]

Just beautiful. She has an amazing voice. Love to hear of Lucinda's influence on her...she is the coolest. I'm a new fan.

[@zakarybaumann2485]

Katie Crutchfield x Cheryl Waters SLAY

[@ritayee2298]

I heard "Lilacs" playing in the background of the TV show 9-1-1 during an intense scene. I had to pull out my phone and use the Shazam app to figure out who was singing. What an AMAZING voice! I've found my new "favorite" band :)

[@Jimbuzz]

Just sublime. Saint Cloud will stand the test of time as a classic piece of work. Hope they can tour Europe soon.

[@TheLongCut1]

"Can't Do Much" = best song of the past five years, at a minimum.

[@justinkingery2489]

This mix is FIRE. Katie and company are better than ever.

[@anessapennington1825]

I saw Waxahatchee in Atlanta this past week, and her ending the night on "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" was something I REALLY needed to hear. ♥️I love Katie!

[@amandaweiss5132]

I’ve been a fan of waxahatchee for years. I couldn’t pass up listening to a new live recording of this album. Everything they put out is simply wonderful.

[@androidesolitario]

Waxahatchee everytime writes better songs, and they sound great live!

[@dinosaur7736]

I remember hearing this live on air and instantly getting hooked on Waxahatchee. Really love St. Cloud

[@Tyhbcc56]

So great, so beautiful.

[@percyfree9831]

Magical artists, makes being alive so beautiful, thanks so ,love yers

[@matthewdimond838]

Kudos to the sound engineer. Everything sounds so great, especially with how she sings…was wondering how “hot” the mix was? She’s so close to it….loving the whole thing. Great job!

[@KyleMcStravick]

Can you explain what you mean about how she sings and how hot the mix would have been? I don't know much about sound engineering, so just curious. I agree they did a great job.

[@matthewdimond838]

@@KyleMcStravick I meant to type “mic”. You can her nose touching it, which means she’s singing at a lower decibel- thus the input would be higher to get all the nuances of her great voice. With the live band setting this can be problematic depending on the room. Which I’ve learned from experience. Cheers!

[@toadytown]

@@matthewdimond838 That's interesting, I saw them play in Seattle this same day and the sound didn't sound nearly as good as on the radio. At least from where I was sitting.

[@NoBrakes23]

KEXP has consistently had excellent sound engineering for over a decade now. Sometimes it is mixed better than the studio album. WFUV is also outstanding.

[@Cupofgo]

Katie and the band are incredible. Thanks so much for putting this beautiful recording together and thanks to mama Cheryl as always!

[@adamchandler8508]

Unbelievable talent! Saint Cloud is one of my all-time favorite albums 🙌❤

[@jackrowland2002]

22:30 If you like waxa check out Bonny Doon (both guitarists and drummer as seen above). They’re amazing

[@wyndgrove9452]

Gotta love a bit of Waxahatchee - if you get a chance to see a live show, it's so worth it.

[@username6265]

That seconde voice is Great!

[@okrunner]

First time I hear about these guys. It took a total of 10 seconds of their first song to fall in love.

[@petemcfeet28]

What a great set! I especially enjoyed all of the vocal work. I'll be looking for the album. Cheers!

[@thebandwatkins]

The album has been out! Don't miss it, search "Saint Cloud"!

[@Ingveyisnthome]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can't get enough of Waxahachie Never ever stop

[@stevenbriggs784]

THANKYOU KEXP!!!!

[@barblesbiesecker4287]

Spot on performance - congratulations!

[@SheaDixonOn3]

Best album of the Pandemic and it wasn’t close

[@mxbelle]

Great set and interview! Loved the show at Spanish Ballroom, Tacoma, with Katy Kirby!

[@lastname6584]

Excellent show. Their album was a one of my favorites this past year.

[@jamisonlamkin5576]

This video let me to see her last night at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta!! Thank you so much for mentioning she was on tour, I had no idea! It was soooooo incredible, just amazing, just breathtaking!!!

[@hoilam5239]

This live reminds me of the good time I had last year when I kept listening to Saint Cloud.☺️

[@loucat2779]

So easy to listen too, never heard them before. Love it! Oh and Cheryl too , of course!

[@MrCFNA]

i love her voice

[@JoeVann]

perfect. love her.

[@raymondmedel1879]

St Cloud is one of those albums that just feels like home

[@gibbleway]

Shes speaking for me saying its my favorite band. Im not mad at her for saying it, these sisters have done a lot for much of the country that has seen life and plight living through real life situations.

[@itsROMPERS...]

The vocal lock on "Fire" is amazing.

[@QueretaRockerMx]

what a beautiful 2nd voice!

[@QueretaRockerMx]

Eliana Athayde you sing and play bass awesome!

AMAZING Excellent band！！！ i just hear and know them at now wonderful music,,

[@alberteinstein5270]

Wonderful singer!

[@200mileseast]

Dope performance, perfect interview.

[@cdubsoptional7849]

Saw them live at Babeville last week, and omg, it was even better than the last time I saw them. They are so goddamn good live

[@brossalot]

Love these songs. Saw them at the Green River Festival this year and the sound was so full and had this more hard rock quality that I thought was so incredibly beautiful.

[@npbass1]

Nice. I'm finally going to see them in OKC in April assuming everything holds together. I've been waiting for two years!

[@BillySBC]

We love WaxaKatie. Keeps getting better.

[@Dorachagi1]

I've been in love with this whole album for a while, thank you for sharing this performance!

[@chris62tt]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[@trebnestel358]

Just watched the KEXP session from 2017. Completely different sound. I like 'em all. I will say the 2017 Crutchfield sisters make some beautiful harmonies.

[@happyboypricey]

Such a good set and a lovely interview to top it off. Music is the best.

[@lossoldadosdesconocidos7483]

I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much

[@deeliciousplum]

Oh? Wonderful harmonies.

[@handstamp630]

Cheryl asked questions like nobody else. A true great.

"If I could love you unconditionally I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky" mmmm

Tremendous

que bueno es este concierto

[@theunboxer1677]

Fire is FIRE 🔥

[@Jamthecoolerator]

Kind of miss Out in the Storm (my fave Waxahatchee album), but this folk/country bent is nice, too.

[@ChukGY]

Their online pandemic shows were so fun, saw them open for Courtney Barnett a couple of years ago (I think with just Katie and another guitar player?) and that was great too.
