Juliana Hatfield (born July 27, 1967 in Wiscasset, Maine, United States), is an American guitarist/singer-songwriter from the Boston area, formerly of the indie rock band Blake Babies.
Contents

The daughter of The Boston Globe fashion critic Julie Hatfield, Juliana grew up in the Boston suburb of Duxbury. She acquired a love of rock music during the 1970s, having been introduced by a babysitter to the music of the seminal Los Angeles punk rock band X, which proved a life-changing experience [1]. She was also attracted to the music of more mainstream artists like Olivia Newton-John [2] and The Police [3], perhaps explaining the dialectic in her later music between sweet, melodic “pop” songs and more hard rock oriented material. Visualizing herself as a singer since her high school years, Hatfield sang in school choirs and briefly played in a cover band called The Squids, which played Queen and Rush songs [4].

Blake Babies

Following her graduation from Duxbury High School, where she was voted “Most Individualistic” [5], Hatfield attended Boston University for a semester. She then transferred as a piano student to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, in the hope of finding a band with which to sing [6]. There she soon met Freda Boner (now Freda Love) and John Strohm, forming the Blake Babies with them in 1986, at the age of 19.

Y'all should just tag this records as Juliana Hatfield and leave the "three" off it. Last.FM recognizes it in my library.

How wonderful is to rediscover one of my favorite bands from my youth. I can't remember the number of times I've listened to that CD.

I uploaded the only picture I know of that has Juliana, Dean & Todd together. It's the same as the one on the cd cover, but it's better than nothing, right?
