HEX, Hattie's 2012 CD, features compositions for piano and strings, the opposite end of her creative spectrum showcased in the velvet vocals of her gospel-flavored blues on Red Bird Tattoo. Inspired by the eclectic music of Lyle Lovett, Hattie's song "Whiskey" took her to Finland to perform as a finalist in the international compo10.com blues contest. Tapping into her classical and southern roots, Hattie writes music for media and bares her southern soul in country and blues.
