Sean Chambers - Guitar/Vocals


Like most guitar players with a developing taste for Blues-Rock guitar, Sean grew up listening to the likes of Johnny Winter, the three Kings (BB, Freddie, & Albert), Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Billy Gibbons to name a few. Chambers was particularly inspired by the legendary sounds of Jimi Hendrix. In fact, it was Hendrix's catalogue that the young Chambers studied in depth, which has had a noticeable influence on his tone and touch. Sean doesn't merely play the guitar as much as he boldly attacks the instrument with a fluid ferocity and attitude that has gained the attention of the major guitar magazines worldwide.

Over the last 15 years, Chambers has continued to evolve through regular touring, not only honing his guitar mastery, but also refining his vocal and songwriting talents along the way. In October 1998, Chambers released his critically acclaimed debut recording Strong Temptation which captured the attention of both fans and critics alike. Since then, Chambers has had a number of milestones in his career, one of which was becoming the musical director and guitarist for the legendary Hubert Sumlin of Howlin' Wolf fame. Touring the world with Sumlin for almost five years, they performed before sellout crowds at stadiums, theaters, clubs and festivals in the US, Europe, Japan, and Canada, building a worldwide fan base along the way.

Following in the footsteps of many of his idols, Chambers has been especially well received outside the US, and particularly in Europe where he has both toured with Sumlin and on his own. Europe's premiere music authority, Guitarist magazine, listed him as one of the 50 Top Blues Guitarist of the last century, edging out the distinguished likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Keb Mo among others. Europe's Total Guitar magazine gave Strong Temptation five stars and cited the record as "the most impressive Blues debut since SRV's Texas Flood."

Chambers continues to develop his powerful style on his latest release Humble Spirits, which showcases his musical evolution beyond the standard blues idiom. Produced by industry veteran Bud Snyder (Allman Brothers / Gov't Mule), the album features several notable musicians including Bernard Allison, Frankie & Danny Toler (Allman Brothers), Bobby T. Torello (Johnny Winter), along with Greg Allman Band alumnus Bruce Waibel. Before the release of the record, Bruce unexpectedly passed away and Humble Spirits is dedicated in his memory.

A progressive performer and musician, Chambers continues to reinvent himself and hone his talents. In 2006, Chambers latest release Humble Spirits was picked up by Rockview Records based in Los Angeles CA. The album is currently available in most major retail outlets throughout the United States, and is distributed by Fontana/Universal.
