Hattie is a singer-songwriter-harpist.

Leonard Cohen, whom Hattie toured with, providing backing support, for over 6 years, called her first solo album 'To The Bone,’ “flawless, uplifting and utterly original.”

Her upcoming album, 'Wild Medicine,' is not, perhaps, the type of album we’ve come to expect from someone whose primary instrument is harp. “Playing the harp growing up, people expect you to be more gentle, or to perhaps not be so direct with how you feel,” Hattie says.“In my years of studying, going to harp festivals, I struggled with the more creatively narrow narrative that the harp is sometimes given. There's so much intensity and meat in the instrument, like a grand piano, and I really wanted to explore how that could translate into the songs I was writing.”

If there is a running theme to the album, she says, “it’s getting my hands in the soil of who I am and finding my own wild medicine wherever that may be.”

In addition to touring with Cohen, Hattie also toured with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for their 40th Anniversary Tour, which turned into their final tour closing at the Hollywood Bowl. Hattie with her sister, Charlie, create their own music under the guise, The Webb Sisters, and together they have collaborated with Sting (2009’s “If On a Winter’s Night”), Gotye, the Lumineers, Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, the
Swell Season, the Avett Brothers and Natalie Maines.
