JC Hatfield Trio

In St. Augustine, it  starts with JC Hatfield, who has played professionally since he was 18. This singer, songwriter, harmonica-playing guitarist has opened for renown performers including Doc Watson and T. Graham Brown, and has performed from Florida to California.

His singing voice has similar qualities to Willie Nelson's, and he can sing material from Nelson, Guy Clark, Merle Haggard and many others. While Hatfield performs as a solo act, he much prefers the sound of two and three-part harmonies and can be heard around town most often as a trio with Dennis Jack (Dino) Campbell and Stan Taylor, two musicians who have also played professionally for years. 

Campbell plays guitar and percussion and is one of the voices that blends well with Hatfield's. From Gainesville, Campbell was a member of the Don David Band for more than 30 years, performing all over Florida and opening for Eddie Money and David Grisman. In the JC Hatfield trio, Campbell plays congas and sings harmony.

Taylor, a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, has been playing music since he was in the fourth grade. He toured in the Northeast with Kinderhook Creek, playing pedal steel. Taylor also played with other bands in New York and New Jersey, and opened for Poco, the Eagles, and other acts. Now in Florida, Taylor plays bass and harmonizes with JC Hatfield.
