Sean Chambers w/ No Money Down – $10/13
February 12, 2016 @ 8:00 pm
$10 – $138pm $10/13
Sean Chambers (BLUES/SOUL/COUNTRY/ROCK)
“Guitarist Chambers achieves the distinctly American blues/soul/country/rock sound that the Stones used to aspire to long ago.”
– Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY
Sean Chambers toured with the legendary Hubert Sumlin as his guitarist and band leader from 1998-2003. Britain’s own Guitarist magazine named Chambers as “One of the top 50 blues guitarists of the last century.” After his tenure with Sumlin, he performed on his own, and in 2003 was asked to headline the prestigious Maryport Blues Festival.
In 2004, shortly after his second CD release, Sean was forced to relocate when his home in Florida was struck by two of the major hurricanes that hit the state, and flooded out his home. In 2009, Chambers went back into the studio to record what would be his most critically-acclaimed album to date, Ten Til Midnight.
No Money Down (BLUES) Formed in Tampa, Florida in 2010, the No Money Down band is a four-piece blues ensemble that brings an exciting and unique blend of talent that creates a wide ranging interpretation of classic and original blues music. The band’s hard driving rhythm section combines with biting leads to move and inspire its audiences. Its members have played such venues as the Chicago Blues Festival, Jannus Live, Skippers, Tangerine Blues Festival and Buddy Guy’s and have opened for such greats as The Radiators, Southside Johnny and the Sean Chambers Band to name a few. Incorporating stylistic elements from Chicago, Mississippi and New Orleans while crossing over into Rock and Funk influences provides a varied and original sound for the audience. This diversity is further evidenced by its instrumentation, which includes lead guitar, harmonica, twelve-string slide guitar, bass guitar, drums and two vocalists. The group’s members represent a wide array of musical backgrounds that creates a unique texture and energy to well-known blues classics as well as its original compositions. The set list also features original arrangements of lesser known, hard grooving selections from a variety of vintage blues legends.
