Jim Stafford's All-Star Band

St. Augustine's Jim Stafford is a multi-instrumentalist in nearly any genre, including Americana, folk, jam band, rock and roll, bluegrass, southern rock, blues, and old-time traditional. Electric bass is his primary instrument, as Stafford currently plays with several ensembles in the market.

Twice a year, Stafford takes a gig for a jam band that has a very loose list of performers: The Jim Stafford All-Star Band. Stafford has said that he asks several musician friends to join him to perform for the Lions Seafood Festival in March and Music by the Sea in the summer. Whoever is in town and not booked on another gig usually agrees, and the result is a stage full of some great St. Augustine guitarists and singers joined by at least one bass player, percussionist, and drummer, and often by one saxophonist. 

The shows are fun, more polished than you would expect, and the set lists showcase the musicians' talents. Jim Stafford's All-Star Band never disappoints and often thrills the audience.
