What She\u2019s Having at Smiths Alternative

What She’s Having brings a tightly knit, full-band energy to the stage, grounding the dual vocals and front-and-centre harmonies of Bridget Croft and Jenny Spear and in a formidable live show. Their signature sound is driven by the classic twang and bite of cranked Telecaster paired with the stunning atmospheric swells of pedal steel, all locked down by a driving rhythm section. Together, they trade the polished sheen of commercial radio for the dust, dented chrome, and dark wit of authentic and original alt country.
Their style draws direct lines from the fierce, poetic storytelling of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris to the modern, sharp-edged songwriting of Jason Isbell and Gillian Welch. It’s a sound that bridges the gap between classic twang and contemporary roots, pairing sharp songwriting with an undeniable live energy.
