Kevin Morby and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield Welcome Their First Child

The baby arrived two weeks early and led Morby to cancel his Eaux Claires appearance so he could stay home with his partner and the newborn.

Overview

  • The couple disclosed the birth through Kevin Morby’s Substack post and an Instagram story photo, which have been the primary sources for press coverage.
  • Morby wrote that he returned from a European tour just hours before Crutchfield went into labor and that the baby arrived about two weeks ahead of the expected due date.
  • Eaux Claires confirmed that Morby has been removed from the festival lineup and the schedule lists an act called “Bon” as his replacement.
  • Morby posted an image of Crutchfield and the newborn and referred to the child as “the little guy,” a description the family has used while sharing that they have been listening to Grouper on repeat.
  • Crutchfield first revealed her pregnancy onstage in April during Waxahatchee’s co-headlining tour with MJ Lenderman, and the new arrival will delay Morby’s immediate touring commitments as the family adjusts at home.
