Juliana Hatfield | Knowledge & Wisdom

“A person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it, rather than having someone else teach you everything.”

—Juliana Hatfield (born July 27, 1967, in Wiscasset, Maine). A leading light of the ’90s indie-rock scene in Boston, this singer-songwriter recently marked the 25th anniversary of her debut solo album, Hey Babe. Unlike many of her peers from that era, she’s still putting out music, and it’s as independent-minded as ever: In the span of a year she released both the political protest album Pussycat and the heartfelt tribute Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John.
