Most- Extensive
Tour Ever
New CD, The
Rock House Sessions, Produced by Reese Wynans, Set for Release on October
15
TAMPA, FL – Guitarist Sean Chambers, whose new CD, The
Rock House Sessions, is set for release on October 15 from Blue Heat
Records, has announced his most extensive tour schedule thus far in support of
the new album. His latest itinerary includes performances in a number of markets
that Sean has not played in a long time, plus many he’s never played before,
including all of his upcoming California shows, as well as San Antonio, Fort
Worth, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Phoenix, Boulder, Cedar Rapids and New Orleans.
Sean Chambers is booked by The Jo-Ann Freda Agency (203-530-1019 / joannfredaagency@gmail.com).
The Rock House Sessions is the first album he’s
recorded as Sean Chambers rather than The Sean Chambers Band; and producing for
the first-time is legendary keyboard player Reese Wynans (best-known as a
member of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band). It’s also his first album using all studio musicians, as Sean and Reese tapped
into a host of all-star local players and songwriters. The album was
recorded at the studio of another acclaimed keyboardist – Kevin McKendree
(Delbert McClinton Band) – named The Rock House, hence The Rock House
Sessions.
Besides Sean on lead vocals and lead guitar, the main band
includes Reese Wynans on keyboards, Tommy MacDonald on bass and Tom Hambridge on
drums. Special guests include Rob McNelley on guitar, TJ Klay on harmonica,
Chaz Trippy on percussion, Etta Britt on backing vocals, Bob Britt on
guitar, Steve Herman on trumpet, and Jim Hoke on sax.
“We used three of my original songs on The Rock House
Sessions,” said Sean Chambers about the new album. We had so many
different songs on the table from some really great songwriters, including not
only Tom Hambridge, but Gary Nicholson and Rick Vito. I really liked the
diversity of all the music that we had to choose from here.
“The songs that I wrote are ‘Your Love Is My Disease,’ ‘It
Hurts to See You Go’ and ‘Meant to Be’. ‘Your Love Is My Disease’ is a
straight-ahead up tempo blues song my band and I had been playing at our shows a
couple months before the CD was recorded, and it was always very well received.
‘It Hurts to See You Go’ is a slow minor blues song about a guy who is trying to
convince the love of his life ‘not to go.’ ‘Meant to Be’ is really unlike any
other song that I have ever written. It was inspired by my soon-to-be wife,
Karen, and the song kind of wrote itself. After talking with Karen on the phone
early one morning, I had this melody running through my head and some lyric
ideas also. I picked up my acoustic guitar and wrote the whole song in about 45
minutes. Reese Wynans helped me fine tune the song in the studio and also added
a few lyrics at the end. Not to mention the piano lines that he added really
took this song to another level. Although it is not the typical kind of song
that one might expect to hear on a blues/rock album, it came from the heart and
it is one of my favorites. It's about real stuff!”

Glad to see that JJ's in Ft. Worth is back in business! I got to stop in while I still have a reason to be in Ft. Worth from time to time. Lots of good blues has gone down in that place over the years!!
