Juliana Hatfield

Artist's Website

“She was a willowy beauty with charming shyness and a slightly tragic air” says Brett Milano, of Juliana Hatfield in her starting-out days, in his recent book The Sound Of Our Town: A History Of Boston Rock+Roll.

Juliana Hatfield – no less an intriguing, compelling character today – has been working as a recording artist for twenty years. With the release of How To Walk Away, her 10th solo album, she again proves herself to be an uncompromising artist with impeccable pop instincts, a disdain for artifice, a completely original voice, and a contrarian streak.

Praise for the new album has been effusive…
“Hatfield still knows how to pack venom into a sprightly pop song, or blow off a lover with a killer guitar hook. The result is rueful and gorgeous.” “A-“ Entertainment Weekly.

Hatfield reflects on her 20 year career in her recently published memoir, “When I Grow Up.” In the book, Hatfield chronicles her extraordinary journey, from her teenage beginnings in the pioneering indie-rock combo Blake Babies, and iconic rise to alternative solo stardom, to the past decade’s stunning streak of increasingly mature, critically acclaimed albums. Whether detailing the origin of her songs, her battles with clinical depression or her quest to find purpose after all of her dreams had seemingly come true, Hatfield writes in the same engaging fashion her fans have loved for years – spirited, witty, and heartbreakingly sincere.
