SEAN CHAMBERS – (SHORT FORM) BIO - 2025
"Guitarist Chambers achieves the distinctly American blues/soul/country/rock sound that the Stones used to aspire to long ago."
- Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY
-Florida born Sean Chambers began his career in the Blues back in 1998 when he toured with the legendary Hubert Sumlin as his guitarist and band leader until 2003. During Sean’s tenure with Mr. Sumlin, Britain's own Guitarist magazine named Chambers as “One of the top 50 blues guitarists of the last century.”
-In 2009, Chambers went into the studio to record his critically-acclaimed album, Ten Til Midnight.
When Ten Til Midnight was released in October, 2009, it garnered rave reviews and also appeared on the Living Blues chart for the first three months after its release. It received 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” as a “Blues Breaker;” and the album also generated significant airplay on Sirius/XM Radio’s blues channel as a “Pick to Click.”
-FAST FORWARD TO 2020 -
On March 1st, 2020, Chambers went into the studio and recorded his 8th album entitled "That's What I'm Talkin About" which is a tribute to his mentor, the late great Hubert Sumlin. Chambers' latest album "That's What I'm Talkin About" was released on July 9th, 2021 on the Quarto Valley Record label. The album reached the Top Ten on the Billboard Blues Charts and received great accolades and rave reviews around the globe.
~The great Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) had this to say,
“It is great to see an unsung guitar legend the caliber of Hubert Sumlin, who played with Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, being celebrated by a young artist Sean Chambers. Hubert was bending strings before anyone!
- Paul Rodgers, Personal Quote (Jul 09, 2021)
“Not just the blues rock album of the year , or indeed the decade. Sean Chambers has produced the blues rock album of the CENTURY!! "THAT’S WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT"”
- Gerry Casey, Making A Scene (July 26, 2021)
In 2023, shortly after the unfortunate passing of Savoy Brown's founder & leader, "Kim Simmonds", Chambers teamed up with the Savoy Brown rhythm section consisting of Pat De Salvo on Bass, and Garnet Grimm on drums. Chambers and the members from Savoy Brown all became friends after playing a festival together in 2019. Being that Savoy Brown and Sean Chambers are on the same record label together, Quarto Valley Records, this change made sense and felt right to all three musicians. Kim Simmonds was in full support as well and gave the three his blessings shortly before his passing on December 13th, 2022.
-On February 28th, 2025 the trio released a live album, recorded at the prestigious "Daryl's House Club" It features 12 blistering and soulful tracks that continue to receive rave reviews.
“This is a very cool record! Since we still have a CD player in our car, it has had a permanent home there since we got ours! Terrific set list!! Sean Chambers is great and so (of course) is his rhythm section! Glad to see Sean Chambers, Pat DeSalvo & Garnet Grimm (the Savoy Brown Rhythm section) out there playing & recording. Kim is here in spirit. Good job! Great record!”
-Roger Earl, of Foghat
Sean Chambers, along with Pat De Salvo & Garnet Grimm will continue to tour together throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Chambers currently resides in Southwest Florida with his wife, Karen, who handles the bands merch sales as well as social media.
