Sean Chambers

Sean Chambers is an American blues rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter. He has released eight albums since 1998, with the more recent offerings, Trouble & Whiskey and Welcome to My Blues (2018), appearing in the US Billboard Blues Albums Chart.

His main guitar playing influences are the work of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and his early professional music experience was gained while touring for four years backing Hubert Sumlin. Chambers has worked with a variety of blues musicians, who include Derek Trucks, Gregg Allman, Kim Simmonds, Tab Benoit, Jeff Healey, Leslie West, Rick Derringer, Pat Travers, Kim Wilson, Bobby Bland, Walter Trout, Big Bill Morganfield, Koko Taylor, Ike Turner, and Robert Cray. The same year Chambers was asked to back Hubert Sumlin at a blues festival in Memphis, and this led to him working with Sumlin as his guitarist and bandleader for the next four years.

His next release was 2004's Humble Spirits, issued on Rockview Records. Ten Til Midnight followed in October 2009, to positive reviews and it stayed on the Living Blues chart for three months. The recording also included a cover of Robert Johnson's "Dust My Broom". It was nominated for a Blues411 Jimi Award for 'Best Live Blues Album of 2011.' Guitar Player magazine gave a full page feature on Chambers in their February 2012 edition, and in the same month Vintage Guitar magazine printed a two-page feature story. Ben Elliott produced both of those releases. Welcome to my Blues spent one week at No. 9 in the Billboard Blues Albums Chart in November 2018.

His latest album, That's What I'm Talkin About: Tribute to Hubert Sumlin, was released on July 9, 2021 this time on Quarto Valley Records, and is a tribute to his friend and mentor Hubert Sumlin. The album consists of nine tracks that were frequently performed when Chambers was backing Sumlin in the late 1990s, and one original song written by Chambers.

Chambers continues to tour with his band and lives in Southwest Florida. His wife, Karen, handles his merchandise and sales while Chambers is away.
