Waffles has served as part-time photographer and contributor for KXT since 2021, capturing the unique spirit of the North Texas music scene through hundreds of stories and photos. Now, as host of The KXT Local Show, Waffles will be able to continue highlighting and championing local musicians on the airwaves, as well as online.
“We’re so excited for Waffles to take the mic,” says Benji McPhail, KXT Program Director. “Waffles has already been a standout voice on KXT’s digital platforms, and we know listeners are going to connect with her passion for homegrown sounds on-air as much as they have online.”

Her first taste of North Texas music was seeing Charley Crockett perform at Nate’s Seafood in Addison in 2015, long before he was filling amphitheaters with his signature Texas sound.
