\n\tIndie rockers Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby have a very good reason to take a break from the road. The couple just welcomed their first child together, with Morby announcing the good news on his Substack on Wednesday (July 22), revealing that he had it back home from a European tour with no time to spare.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI returned from my European tour just in time. For our little beautiful baby to kick the door in two weeks ahead of schedule,\u201d Morby wrote of the child born on Tuesday (July 21), whose name he did not reveal. \u201cThe tour \u2014 as amazing as it was \u2014 was somewhat tense having to leave a very pregnant Katie [Crutchfield] at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCrutchfield revealed that she was pregnant in April during the first date of her co-headlining acoustic tour with MJ Lenderman, where she told the crowd, \u201cThis is a song about having a baby. This one\u2019s going to hit a little different for me now.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn his Substack announce, Morby continued, \u201cWe all found ourselves holding our collective breath that he wouldn\u2019t come too early. And like clockwork, I was home all but eight hours before Katie\u2019s water broke. I like to think that the little guy waited for me. His due date was August first but luckily we get some extra time with him. Who we thought would be a Leo is now a Cancer. He is perfect \u2026 Katie\u2019s such a badass. But yall already knew that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMorby said the blessed event will mean he has to drop out of his planned performance at Bon Iver\u2019s Eaux Claires festival this weekend in Wisconsin. \u201cI was looking forward to jamming with Justin and Aaron [Dessner] which was going to feel very full circle but I know we will have lots of jamming in our futures. Sending everyone there my love this weekend,\u201d he wrote. \u201cFor now, in terms of jamming, I\u2019m going to be holding this little ball of magic while listening to Grouper \u2014 \u2018Heavy Water\/I\u2019d Rather Be Sleeping\u2019 on repeat. We are so in love with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
