Tom Hampton is a multi-instrumentalist, sideman, session musician and singer/songwriter. In April 2020, he joined the country-rock band Poco as guitarist and vocalist. Hampton's abilities on an array of instruments (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin) created a niche for him over the years as a first-call utility player for a number of notable artists - some of whom he tours and records with on a regular basis. Hampton frequently tours with Craig Bickhardt and Craig's band Idlewheel. He has also toured with Hooters guitarist John Lilley, Dan May, J.D. Malone, and Cosmic Americana band Boris Garcia, folksinger Tracy Grammer, Craig Fuller of Pure Prairie League and Little Feat, Paul Cotton of Poco. He has also backed and performed with Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, Eric Andersen, Jonathan Edwards, Jim Photoglo, Vonda Sheppard, Don Henry, Julie Gold, Daryle Singletary and many others.
