The new disc is the third CD from the Tampa-based Chambers, and showcases the powerful style which earned him critical plaudits from a host of magazines, including Europe's Guitarist Magazine, which listed Sean as "one of the Top 50 Blues Guitarists of the last century;" and Total Guitar Magazine, which called his 1998 debut CD, Strong Temptation, "The most impressive blues debut since Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood."

Sean's talents as a guitarist were recognized early-on by a host of blues stars and legends, such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray, who all employed Chambers as their opening act on numerous shows in Florida. Earlier this decade, he got the call from another iconic blues guitarist, Hubert Sumlin, whose own work with the great Howlin' Wolf was one of the trademarks of the Wolf's sound; and Chambers signed on as Sumlin's musical director and guitarist. During a period of five years, he toured all over the world backing Hubert at festivals and clubs throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan and Canada. "I consider my time with Hubert Sumlin as my college education. I learned so much from Hubert," says Chambers.

On Sean's second album, the 2005 release, Humble Spirits, he put those lessons to good use, expanding his musical horizons beyond blues on an album produced by Bud Snyder (The Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule), which featured such special guests as Bernard Allison, Frankie and Dan Toler (The Allman Brothers), Bobby T. Torello (Johnny Winter) and Greg Allman band alumnus Bruce Waibel.

On Ten Til Midnight, Sean Chambers and co-producer Tim Blair wanted to go for a live sound similar to their incendiary concert shows; so most of the tracks were recorded with few overdubs. They feature Chambers on guitar and vocals, and his regular touring band: Tim Blair on bass and Paul Broderick on drums. Special guests includes Ben Crider on Hammond B-3 organ, Jack Henriquez on piano, Gary Keith on harmonica, and Robin Bouie and Clarence L. Stevenson on backing vocals.

Sean's aggressive, yet fluid blues guitar approach is evident throughout the seven originals, as well as covers of songs from ZZ Top ("Brown Sugar"), Luther Allison ("All the King's Horses") and Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones ("You're Gonna Miss Me"). It's that combination of reverence for tradition along with his special jolt of energy that makes his sound so unique.
