Tammy recently opened for and was invited to sing with E.C. Scott. She performs on occasions with T C Carr, Sandy Atkinson and Ed Wright.  Previously, she leaned toward mostly Country, working with Lakeland's Showman Band (Johnny & Bernice Thompson) and the Carl Chambers band, opening for such artists as Charlie Daniels, Glen Campbell, Billy Crash Craddock, Mel McDaniels and Melanie, just to mention a few. She is also a top notch songwriter and her first CD of Original songs was recorded and produced in 1996 by long time friend Carl Chambers, (Close Enough To Perfect, recorded by Alabama) Website:www.tammyhatch.com
