New Chris Chambers CD: Never Say What You Mean

With his latest disc, Never Say What You Mean, local guitar slinger/vocalist Chris Chambers has created a stupendous mix of soul, blues and rock.

The new collection also has a modern sound while still maintaining its roots. Chris can really rock out (Distraction, All Undone) or take it nice and slow when needed (Remember, Can't Understand).

The CD is available at his live shows and can also be purchased as a download on iTunes and VIP Rock Shop.

Below is a video where he performs the title track

Performer of the Week: Chris Chambers

Singer/Guitarist Chris Chambers is a young, energetic Hamilton performer with a lot of musical power.

He's opened for and played with Steve Earle, Crowbar, Trooper, Jack deKeyzer and more. Chris is also a festival mainstay in the Ontario area.

His sound is incredibly diverse. He can get funky, rock out, play great acoustic tunes, and sing soulfully when needed. On top of that, the guy even incorporates bits of jazz, delta blues and more.

According to Chris' web site, a new CD is in the works for this year. His 2007 self-titled release was incredible so this one should be amazing as well.
