Alternative rock trailblazer Juliana Hatfield [ tickets ] has lined up three weeks of club dates to support two recently released CDs. Focused on the eastern U.S., the tour is scheduled to open on Sept. 24 in Northampton, Mass., near Hatfield's home base of Boston.

Hatfield has been prolific over the last year. In May, she released two new albums--the pop-leaning “Beautiful Creature” and the grunge-infused “Total System Failure” (Zoe/Rounder)--on the same day.

Just prior to the release of those CDs, she embarked on the week-long Store Tour 2000, playing solo acoustic sets at each of the 21 Newbury Comics stores in the New England area.

Last December, Hatfield cut a new album with the recently resurrected Blake Babies, the band that springboarded her career in the '80s. That album, which is the band’s first in nearly a decade, has yet to be released.

The Blake Babies reunited to play a New Year’s Eve show in Indiana shortly after recording the new album. A second Blake Babies show took place last month in Birmingham, Ala., the hometown of guitarist John P. Strohm. According to the Birmingham Weekly, the show was an “open wedding reception” for Strohm.
