About
WX welcomes Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast deliver gritty rock & roll soaked in deep roots and blues influences!
Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast deliver gritty rock & roll soaked in deep roots and blues influences and Rolling Stone describes commanding lead singer Caitlin Krisko as “one of the best-kept vocal secrets of the Southeast,”. Since their transformational rebrand in 2021, the band has built a fiercely loyal following across the US and UK, earning critical acclaim and major festival slots for their electrifying, emotionally charged performances.
In 2024, the band took a bold creative leap with their self-produced EP Blueprints, a soulful, anthemic collection that landed playlist placements, radio support, and praise for its raw vulnerability. The single “Haunted By You” topped Spotify’s “Blues Ballads” playlist, while their upcoming full-length album Heirloom (out Spring 2026) builds on that momentum with a waterfall release of singles throughout the year.
With past support slots for legends like Mavis Staples, Marcus King, Blackberry Smoke, Samantha Fish, Robert Randolph, and Margo Price, the band continues to rise. Krisko recently stepped into a new role as host of the storied Buffalo Mountain Jam at FloydFest, solidifying her as a staple of the modern roots rock scene.
Following a breakout year of airplay on Planet Rock Radio, the band returns to the UK twice in 2026, building on their growing international fanbase with festival and club dates that highlight their genre-bending fusion of southern soul, roots rock, and blues influenced modern storytelling.
