English singer/songwriter and harpist Hattie Webb has announced her second single “Shakespeare’s Shores” from her forthcoming solo album Wild Medicine.  The new album will be released on September 20th, 2024 on Hearts Connect Records, distributed via Missing Piece Records.

“Shakespeare’s Shores” was written by Hattie Webb and Heartbreaker Ron Blair and produced by Webb and Grammy nominated producer/bassist Roscoe Beck (Leonard Cohen, Dixie Chicks, Eric Johnson.) Beck also performs on the track.

Webb says about the track:

It’s about turning a corner after heartbreak and finding a way to accept the losses one faces in life. It’s like a ‘Hansel and Gretel’ story, leaving a trail so you can still be found but also a bittersweet letting go of how life once felt, and letting go of someone who is technically in your past but still living on within.

Wild Medicine is Webb’s second solo album, but she began her musical career alongside her sister as a duo known as The Webb Sisters who, in addition to recording and releasing their own music, toured with the likes of Leonard Cohen and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Of their time with Cohen, Webb says:

We thought the tour was going to be six months but it turned out to be six years. It was the best of times. It was also the most challenging of times. But never was there a moment it wasn’t extraordinary, particularly to witness Leonard’s presence and process in everything he did.
