 JULIANA HATFIELD KICKS OFF U.S. TOUR SEPTEMBER 9th
New Album, "How To Walk Away," Set For August 19th Release
"When I Grow Up," Singer/Songwriter’s Provocative Memoir, To Be Published September 29th By John Wiley & Sons
Juliana Hatfield will celebrate the release of "How To Walk Away" – her 10th solo album in a remarkable 20-year-career – and the publication of her memoir, entitled "When I Grow Up," with a tour launching September 9th at IOTA in Washington, DC. Other highlights include shows at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom (September 12th), Boston’s Brattle Theater (September 14th), and Los Angeles’ new Largo (September 27th).
On October 10th, the acclaimed singer/songwriter will appear at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England. In this special evening, Hatfield will provide a highly personal look at her life, weaving passages from "When I Grow Up" (which will be published by Wiley & Sons on September 29th) in amidst songs from throughout her career.
“This Lonely Love,” the album’s lead single, features Richard Butler (The Psychedelic Furs) on vocals and goes for adds at radio on July 28th. Hatfield will perform on NPR’s “World Café” on September 10th and will play a set at New York City’s Housing Works Bookstore Café on October 23rd as part of the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival 2008.
"How To Walk Away," produced by Andy Chase (of revered alt-rock/pop band Ivy) and due out August 19th on Hatfield’s own Ye Olde Records (distributed via RED), is already eliciting widespread acclaim. “If you have only…4 minutes, 23 seconds: Listen to Juliana Hatfield’s winning take on a failed relationship, ‘My Baby…’ from her shimmering new CD,” says O The Oprah Magazine. while venuszine declared “Ah, Miss Hatfield, you make loneliness feel so good,” praising the “sexy and funky seventies vibe” of “This Lonely Love.”
"In When I Grow Up," 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.
