JC Hatfield Band

As of the Spring of 2026, JC Hatfield’s newest band, JC Hatfield Band, has taken on a new framework. JC Hatfield, who has played professionally since he was 18, is the anchor of the group. This singer, songwriter, harmonica-playing guitarist has opened for renowned 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 now be heard around town with Dennis Jack (Dino) Campbell, Stan Taylor, and Joe Fitzgerald, three 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 Band, 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, dobro, lap steel, as well as harmonizing with JC Hatfield."

The fourth leg of this hand-crafted table is Joe “The Tree” Fitzgerald. A native of Jacksonville, he earned his moniker by his ability to stand expressionless and motionless on stage. Playing across the entire northern edge of Florida, from St. Augustine to the panhandle, Joe has added his sound to the White Caps, the Burgh Brothers, and the Matt Altman Band.
