Juliana Hatfield

Show Description

“She was a willowy beauty with charming shyness and a slightly tragic air”. So 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. From the beginning she has distinguished herself as a pop/rock artist with brains, determination, and an unwavering dedication to her craft in the face of a rapidly-evolving music industry. Hatfield made waves in the mid-nineties on Atlantic Records with her modern rock hits “My Sister”, “Spin The Bottle”, and “Universal Heartbeat”, which reinforced her status as a respected, uncompromising songwriter, guitar player, and producer with impeccable pop instincts, a disdain for artifice, a completely original voice, and a contrarian streak. How To Walk Away is Hatfield’s tenth album as a solo artist (not including side projects like Some Girls, as well as four Blake Babies albums). Amazingly, Hatfield’s work improves with each passing year.
