She started out as a member of the Boston band Blake Babies before briefly joining the Lemonheads, one of those indie bands that have been a Beatlemania-like phenomenon on college radio. She went solo in 1992, though, and she's released over dozen studio albums, including her critically acclaimed debut Hey Babe from 1992, followed by such LPs as 1998's Bed, 2004's In Exile Deo, and 2010's Peace & Love.
In 1993, Ms. Hatfield, a guitarist, she formed her own trio with bassist Dean Fisher and drummer Todd Phillips. The Juliana Hatfield Three released their debut album Become What You Are, which included the alt-rock hit "My Sister," but despite their success, the trio wouldn't put out another album for twenty-two years. (Crosby, Stills and Nash never even took that long to record another album in their prime.) But their 2015 followup, Whatever, My Love, was still well-received by college radio, and its lead single, the tender, warm pop ballad "If I Could," dominated indie-radio airwaves.
Ms. Hatfield's songwriting style concerts satirizing anything in society that she finds ridiculous, such as self-important men in "I'm Not Your Mother" and men who try and fail to look cool in "Leather Pants."
She released her most recent solo album as of this writing, Pussycat, in 2017.
