(LOS ANGELES, Calif.) — NEWS: Sam Pocker is thrilled to announce the release of his sixth album, “Sam Pocker Sings Juliana Hatfield,” available everywhere on Friday April 13, 2018. “Sam Pocker Sings Juliana Hatfield” is a 1970’s-style answer record to the newly released “Juliana Hatfield Sings Olivia Newton-John.” It features three Juliana Hatfield classics reimagined as 12-inch disco records.
To match the original release, one dollar from the sale of every album will be donated to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJ Centre), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing patients with cancer access to leading medical treatment, breakthrough research, and the best in wellness and supportive care.
“I had known for a while that Juliana’s cover album was going to be released and I was excited to hear it,” says Pocker. “My previous two singles – which I recorded with Michael Eisenstein, Kay Hanley, and Tom Polce of Boston’s Letters to Cleo – were actually written on a guitar previously owned by Juliana that she used to write her album ‘Peace and Love.’ So the whole thing gets very self-referential just from the get-go.”
He added, “When I got the email from American Laundromat Records with the cover art, the title ‘Sam Pocker Sings Juliana Hatfield’ just popped into my head and I began laughing way too hard at the idea.”
The album is available on all major digital services and on the artist’s Bandcamp page which is located at: https://prettycolors.bandcamp.com/album/sam-pocker-sings-juliana-hatfield
