Yesterday, Lena Dunham and “Girls” producer Jenni Konner announced the lineup for their upcoming Lenny: America IRL Tour behind their feminist newsletter Lenny Letter. Among those participating is Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield, who has now shared an open letter on Facebook explaining her decision to join the tour. “We will be giving a significant amount of the proceeds to numerous organizations benefitting the LGBTQ communities that are local to the cities we are performing in—this is, hands down, the biggest reason that I agreed to do this,” she writes. Crutchfield also acknowledges her “amazing, brilliant, respected” tourmates (like Sasheer Zamata and Rachel McKibbens), and adds, “I am choosing to do this tour because I feel like it’s an opportunity to do some good in the bad, bad times.” Read the full post below.
Waxahatchee’s new album Out in the Storm is out July 14 via Merge. The band recently shared the new song “Silver.” Revisit “How Allison and Katie Crutchfield’s P.S. Eliot Came to Be” on the Pitch.
