“I hope people enjoy listening to the album as much as we enjoyed recording it,” says Chambers, whose bandmates are the famed Savoy Brown Rhythm Section (bassist Pat De Salvo, drummer Garnett Grimm. “The material on Sean Chambers Live… features songs from my past albums, as well as a few carefully-chosen Savoy Brown songs the band and I enjoy playing. I thoroughly enjoy performing with Pat and Garnet from the Savoy Brown Rhythm Section and am honored to have them in the band. We have great chemistry together on, and off stage. I think that will shine through when people hear the music.”
What The Press Is Saying About Sean Chambers Live
Featuring the Savoy Brown Rhythm Section
“Sean Chambers delivers a blistering set…a live album that captures the raw intensity of a seasoned blues-rock warrior, a masterclass of how to bring fire to the stage without ever losing the feel.”
BLUES MATTERS!
“An extraordinary example of live blues-rock at its mightiest…an album one will want to listen to loud and listen to often. Don’t let this record sneak past you.”
PHILLYCHEEZEBLUES
“The album opens with searing blues-rock instrumental “Cobra,” a track that originally appeared on Savoy Brown’s 2014 album Goin’ To The Delta. The fast-paced tune gives guitar and drums a chance to shine as the bass holds things together, a great opening number. Chambers and his Savoy Brown guys have given us a solid live album here; anyone new to Sean’s music will find this a good place to start.”

Sean Chambers and the members from Savoy Brown all became friends after playing a festival together in 2019. Fast forward to 2023: shortly after the unfortunate passing of Savoy Brown’s founder and leader, Kim Simmonds, renowned guitarist and songwriter Sean Chambers teamed up with the Savoy Brown Rhythm Section consisting of Pat De Salvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums. Being that Savoy Brown and 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 and gave the three his blessing shortly before his passing in December of 2022.
With the release of Sean Chambers Live Featuring The Savoy Brown Rhythm Section, these three accomplished musicians have come together to create what is undeniably one of the most entertaining and powerful musical trios on the scene today! Sean Chambers, along with Pat De Salvo and Garnet Grimm, continue to tour together throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
