Crutchfield is supported by a guitar playing a beautiful butterscotch Tele with a humbucker in the neck position, before she picks up her own Gibson J45 to strum a few songs. Her backing band is comprised of an upright bass player, slide guitarist, keys and a drummer who’s committed to shuffling along with jazz brushes throughout the short set.
