"Chambers' brand of blues is a no-frills blend of Chicago, Texas, and Delta styles, played with an understated sense of ferocity. Sean came to
wail, and he does so with a transparent sense of
Sean toured with the
legendary Hubert Sumlin as his guitarist and band leader
from 1998-2003. Performing extensively throughout the
U.S. and Europe together, Chambers recalls this time as
being his "College Education" in music. "My band
would usually open the show, then take a short break and
bring out Hubert for his set. I learned so much during
my time playing with Hubert, I consider it my college
education." Sean not only learned at Hubert's feet,
but his own style of the blues began to get noticed by
fans and critics as well. During a tour throughout
England in 2001 Britain's own "Guitarist" magazine named
Chambers as one of the top 50 blues guitarists of the
last century! After his tenure with Mr.Sumlin he later
performed 3 more tours throughout England on his own,
and in 2003 was asked to headline the Maryport Blues
Festival there.
He was featured twice on The House of Blues Radio hour
after releasing his first album "Strong Temptation." His
second release entitled “Humble Spirits” (2004) features
several special guest artists including Bernard Allison,
The Toler Bros, the late Bruce Waibel and several other
great musicians. The CD was produced and engineered by
industry veteran Bud Sneider (Allman Bros, Gov’t Mule)
In 2004, shortly after his second cd release Sean was
forced to relocate when his home was struck by Hurricane
Francis, and then again by Hurricane Gene. After being
flooded out of his home, he was forced to take a day job
to pay for expenses and a new place to live. Chambers
worked 5 days a week for the next 4 years catching up
and rebuilding his life, all the while still playing
regularly around his home state of Florida to a steady
and loyal fan base. In 2009 Chambers went back into the
studio to record what would be his most critically
acclaimed album to date, “TEN TIL MIDNIGHT”
“TEN TIL MIDNIGHT” was released on October 20, 2009 and
has garnished a number of rave reviews since. “Ten Til
Midnight” appeared on the Living Blues Charts for the
first three months after it’s release, as well as
appearing at #1 on the FL Roots & Blues charts for over
4 weeks in a row, and has been receiving steady airplay
in 45 states around the U.S, as well as many markets
overseas. The title cut was featured on The House of
Blues Radio Hour with “Elwood Blues” as a HOB Blues
Breaker on Jan 20, 2010. The new album also continues to
gain steam on XM/Serious Radio. It was a “Pick to Click”
on Bill Wax’s show “Bluesville” during the month of
February 2010.
With this new release under his belt, and a new fire in
his belly, Chambers and his band are preparing to get
back out on the road to continue where they left off
almost six years ago! Sean’s regular touring band
consists of longtime bassist Tim Blair and drummer Paul
Broderick, who were also members of Hubert Sumlin’s
touring band. If you like your blues blazin hot, this
trio will definitely light your fire!
