MORE ABOUT HATFIELD

5

Raised in the Boston suburb of Duxbury before graduating from the Berklee College of Music, singer/songwriter Hatfield, 41, was a key player in the Blake Babies and the Lemonheads and later embarked on a prolific solo career. Her new album, How to Walk Away, is out this month on her own Ye Olde Records label, and her first book, When I Grow Up, a memoir, will be published in September. “It was originally a tour diary,” she says, “with the working title If I Lived Here I’d Fucking Kill Myself.”
