Don Chambers
DON CHAMBERS - TWO BAY AREA APPEARENCES
New World Brewery 1313 East 8th Avenue Ybor City, FL and The Garage Bar 662 Central Avenue St. Petersburg, FL
WHEN: Thursday July 9 (NWB) and Friday July 10 (Garage)
DETAILS: Tickets $6
Renowned singer/songwriter and Goat front man Don Chambers sound is starkly gothic with a touch of unapologetic southern frankness, creating an atmosphere of restless familiarity interwoven with an overcast tone that hints of music?s modern-day Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Everything about Chambers?his looks, his expertly rugged songwriting, his voice?is straightforward, raw, and exactly who he is: music?s new anti-transcendentalist. His rock-gothic sound has just a tap of dusty southern roots that lend him the coarse voice and pain of someone who has been there?cynical because he knows better. Chambers combines the weathered pessimism of greats like Johnny Cash with the hardest rocking banjo known to music today. Pull this together and you have something so original it could only be called one thing: Don Chambers and GOAT.
The Athens, Georgia front man grew up singing in a Baptist church. Since then, he?s fronted Vaudeville, an experimental punk trio, among others. In 2001, he formed GOAT, which has since opened for The Drive By Truckers, and, most notably, for Marty Stuart at the famed Ryman auditorium. His eclectic rock even caught the eyes and ears of Rolling Stone. ?Chambers?is one of Athens? most underrated songwriters, and deals out tales of whiskey, heartbreak, and woe with his banjo,? writes Jenny Eliscu.
