Juliana played an outdoor show for ONCE at Boynton Yards in Somerville yesterday. This was her first live gig since the before times.

Opening with Bottles & Flowers and finishing with Everything’s For Sale, Juliana’s set had many picks from the American Laundromat era, and some deeper cuts such as Daniel and Necessito. Thanks to Vicky for posting the setlist photo (on the Instagram post embedded below.)

The poster as designed by Nicole Anguish is available from Daykamp.

There’s more chat from attendees on the Facebook fan group.

Juliana withdraws from 2021 US shows with Soul Asylum and Local H

From Juliana’s post on Twitter, August 6, 2021:

Hello, friends. I am very very sorry to have to say this but due to unforeseen circumstances I am no longer going to be able to take part in the upcoming tour that I'd planned on doing with Soul Asylum and Local H. I was really looking forward to it, and to all the music, and to seeing everyone out there, and I hope to be able to hit the road again before too long. xoxo, Juliana

Upcoming Livestream Performance #4 - How To Walk Away (Solo Acoustic / Electric) - March 20, 2021
Upcoming Livestream Performance #4 - How To Walk Away (Solo Acoustic / Electric) - March 20, 2021

The 4th in Juliana’s monthly livestream shows will feature her 2008 album How To Walk Away.

Writing at her official site, Juliana says:

I am going to set up both an acoustic and an electric guitar, though I won't be playing them both at the same time (I only have two hands, unfortunately).

The show is scheduled for March 20, 2021 (back to a Saturday slot).

This will again be 4pm local time for Juliana, but time zone aficionados will note this will be in Eastern Daylight Time, so Europeans should consult their calendars. (For instance in the UK we will still be on GMT making this an hour earlier than usual for us at 8pm London time).

You know the score by now but for newbs the show will be live on Q Division’s YouTube channel and stay online for a couple of weeks, with pay what you like PayPal donations taken via julianahatfield.com

While you wait for this show you can read all about the album with the 2008 track-by-track review and more info than you’ll ever need on the How To Walk Away archive page, part of the ongoing revamp of the discography section.

Upcoming Livestream Performance #3 - Only Everything (Solo Electric) - February 21, 2021

They come around so quickly, these livestreams.

Juliana, writing at her official site:

For this third installment I will perform, at Q Division Studios, my “Only Everything” album, start to finish, by myself with an electric guitar and a loop pedal, which will enable me to play some guitar solos over some looped chord progressions (trust me, it'll be fun). It will be broadcast via the Q Division YouTube channel .

The scheduled time is 4pm EST on February 21, 2021. That's the same time of day as before (9pm GMT, 10pm CET) but a different day of the week (it's a Sunday) just to keep us alert.

To help prepare for the show you can familiarise yourself with the majesty of the album with original press reviews and more on the Only Everything discography page:

The solo electric with loop pedal feel will bring back memories for those of us who attended Juliana's European shows in 2006. Check out Carsten and Lieve's excellent photos from back then:

Upcoming Acoustic Livestream Performance of Become What You Are - Dec 19, 2020

Juliana will perform her 1993 classic album Become What You Are in a solo acoustic broadcast from Q Division Studios on Saturday December 19, 2020 at 4pm EST (that's a European friendly 9pm GMT / 10pm CET, yay)

It will be available live on Q Division's YouTube channel and thereafter for an unspecified period for those who can't make that time. update: As of January 2021, the video has been removed.

Writing on her official website, Juliana says:

There is no set ticket price—you can pay what you want, or not. It is up to you. Since none of us—artists nor audiences—can have in-person concerts until who knows when, I am hoping that some of you will be able to contribute something, which will help generate some of that lost touring income. But I understand that a lot of you are struggling financially and I want everyone to be able to see the show—so if you can’t pay, that’s okay!

Head to julianahatfield.com to read more of Juliana's note and the PayPal information.

#paywhatyouwant4becomewhatyouare is not the official hashtag because I've just made it up.

Fabulous news. I'm sure we're all looking forward to this Christmas treat.

It's catching up with all the news day here. So, a little later than planned (due to being on the road and then the liveontomorrow laptop in for repair!), here are some highlights from the last bunch of shows on the US tour which came to an end last Friday in Brooklyn.

Firstly, a stunning solo encore of Roxanne from Seattle:

There's a review by John Oakes plus a photoset at Twin Cities Media, and a flickr gallery by Adam Bubolz, both from the St Paul show.

Bryan Lansky's photos of the ONCE Somerville show are at We All Want Someone To Shout For.

Going back to earlier in the tour, a review of the LA show by Harriet Kaplan for Live Music News & Review.

Also, an outstanding set of official photos by Renata Steiner from Juliana's visit to KEXP last month.

Thanks to spiketop for getting in touch with video from the New York City show at Mercury Lounge.

As spike says on YouTube:

I’d rather be out of JH’s eye line and further back (with audience heads in the fore ground) than up close with a camera right in JH’s face. I try to hold the camera directly one handed in front of me and use my body and head to block the screen image from getting in the view of the audience behind and around me.
