Indie rock stars play spellbinding collaborative set in NYC
Indie titans MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee, who have frequently collaborated together over the years, played a spellbinding stripped-down set together this past weekend at Brooklyn Paramount. Over the course of the nearly two-hour show, the musicians traded off playing each other’s hits together, from MJ favorites “Manning Fireworks” and “She’s Leaving You” to Waxahatchee classics “Lilacs” and “Right Back To It” and more. The duo also churned out several spirited covers, including Gillian Welch’s “Wrecking Ball” and Lucinda Williams’ “Abandoned” – with an assist from indie country singer-songwriter Brennan Wedl – to the delight of the sold-out crowd. It was a truly inspired set from two of the best musicians in the game. Scroll through the gallery below for all the highlights!
