Sean Burns up the fret board like few can, playing
with power and intensity that has earned him comparisons to Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Johnny Winter and Billy Gibbons among others. Chambers grew up
listening to blues guitar legends such as Freddie and Albert King, BB
King, Howlin Wolf, Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters to name a few. Today
those influences come through in Sean's style of play and stage
performance both instrumentally and vocally.
In 1998 Chambers was asked to fill in as Hubert Sumlin's guitarist at
The "Bluesstock" Festival in Memphis, TN. The two hit it off amazingly
well and had a unique and obvious chemistry together. Chambers would
find himself acting as Sumlin's guitarist and band leader for the next
four years, performing at festivals and clubs in most of the major
markets around the U.S. as well as touring overseas with Sumlin. After
his time with Hubert, ("His school" as he calls it) guitarist Sean
Chambers headed out on his own, releasing two critically acclaimed cd's
and garnering recognition as one of the top blues rock guitar players in
the country. In 2001, Britain's Guitarist Magazine named Sean as one of
the 50 Greatest Blues Guitarists of all time. Pretty heady for someone
still in his early thirties! If you like your blues blazin hot, this
trio will definitely light your fire!
Chambers continues to develop his powerful style on his October 2005
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, Robin Trower, Frankie & Danny Toler (Allman
Brothers), Bobby T. Torello (Johnny Winter), along with Greg Allman Band
alumnus Bruce Waibel. Sadly, Bruce unexpectedly passed away while still
recording the sessions with Sean, and Humble Spirits is dedicated in
Bruce's memory.
