Founder, Brooks Vaughan met Lindsay Belbeck in the summer of 2004 when they competed in the Colgate Country Showdown. In early 2007 Brooks asked Lindsay to join the band which catapulted them into a new and exciting direction. Country rocker CJ Conklin joined the band in the summer of 2007 playing bass and singing lead vocals and harmonies. In January of 2008 with their name change, Hayfire moved into a more modern crossover-country direction with a new full band lineup. Multi-musical CJ moved from the bass guitar to lead guitar. Brandon "Irons" Goldthwaite was hired on as driver of the band on drums and percussion. Then in mid 2008 Hayfire continued adding to the band with Ken Franzetta on steel and dobro and Bill Bernhard as bass player and vocalist. For larger events and shows, Hayfire also employs keyboards and fiddle.

Hayfire's approach is simple, to provide a top quality production, full of great music and good times. They even carry their own state of the art sound and light show. You better not leave your dancing shoes at home, because HAYFIRE likes to play dance music. Line dancing, 2 stepping, East and West Coast swing, Cha Cha, couples and free style. Don't be surprised, but you might hear some top 40 rock and pop for those of you who need to really get down and party.
