Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Florida born Sean Chambers began his career in the Blues back in 1998 when he toured with the legendary Hubert Sumlin as his guitarist and band leader until 2003. During Sean’s tenure with Mr. Sumlin, Britain's own Guitarist magazine named Chambers as “One of the top 50 blues guitarists of the last century.”

In 2020, Chambers recorded "That's What I'm Talkin About" which is a tribute to his mentor, the late great Hubert Sumlin & was released on July 9th, 2021, on the Quarto Valley Record label. The album reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Blues Charts and received great accolades and rave reviews around the globe.

Chambers became friends with the members of Savoy Brown after they played a festival together. When Savoy Brown’s founder, Kim Simmonds, died in 2022, Chambers teamed up with bass player Pat De Salvo and drummer Garnet Grimm. Chambers and Savoy Brown recorded on the same label, they had the blessing of Kim Simmonds, and the move felt right. As a touring band, Sean Chambers takes guitar and vocals, Pat De Salvo takes bass and vocals, and Garnet Grimm takes drums and vocals. They continue to tour throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, although Chambers always returns to his home base in Florida.

Quarto Valley Records is honored to release the last newly recorded music by the late great Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown. The album follows Savoy Brown's critically acclaimed 2022 album, Ain't Done Yet. "The album continues the approach I've been taking with the band this past decade," says guitarist/singer/songwriter Kim Simmonds, who formed the band in 1965 in London, England, and is one of the longest running Blues Rock bands in existence. "The big difference with the new album is the multi-layer approach I took to recording the guitar parts. It's all blues-based rock music. I try to find new and progressive ways to write and play the music I've loved since I was a young teenager." Kim Simmonds: Guitar, Vocals, Organ and Harmonica / Garnet Grimm: Drums and Percussion / Pat DeSalvo: Bass
