Freakwater is an American alternative country band from Louisville, Kentucky, with one co-founding member living in Chicago.[1] Freakwater is known for the lead vocals of Janet Bean and Catherine Irwin, who mix harmony and melody in idiosyncratic dissonant country-folk that is reminiscent of the Carter Family.[2][3][4]
