Musician of Alternative, Rock and Spoken Word

Hampton Taliaferro has been exciting the Arkansas music scene for several years following stints in Seattle and Nashville. Hampton plays local gigs with his acoustic guitar and original songs, as well as playing drums touring and recording with many musicians and bands such as Common Children, Crash Meadows, Chris Mosher, ADAM, and The Rugs. In various groups he has shared the stage with Kid Rock, The Spin Doctors, Train, Dale Bozzio, Cheap Trick, Dishwalla, Tonic, and a host of other celebrated acts. Soul Beautiful is Hampton's first solo album - a kaleidoscopic, outside-the-box collection of moving grooving original songs which seamlessly blend classic sounds of the 70's with the energy of the 80's and the grunge of the 90's. Hampton plays drums, acoustic rhythm guitar and sings lead vocals. He's joined on this musical journey by Medo Agus on electric guitar and Roxy on viola, violin, sax & vocals, with special appearances by Shelley Martin on flute, Chuck Dodson on electric keyboard, Levon Walkin playing acoustic slides & fills - plus a reunion with Common Children bassist Drew Powell.
