New Song / New Recordings / Show (via Flagpole Magazine)

Local songwriter Don Chambers has spent much time exploring the "whiskey-soaked bootstomps" of a certain rowdy brand of Southern folk music, but A Sudden Loss of Elevation, Chambers' upcoming solo LP, finds him quieting down. "These are solo, acoustic, diminutive, romantic, natural recordings," says Chambers, "nothing too tricky, though a few songs did have some help from Thayer Sarrano and my wife Sanni Baumgaertner."
"Three Steps Down," a tune from the new album, which Chambers will release digitally this Thursday, May 16 via Bandcamp, is a stirring example of the songwriter's softer side, a lived-in, warmly lit meditation on life and love. The inimitable Sarrano guests on vocals.

New Song on the 2013 AthFest CD Sampler


I have a new song - "Slipping on the Ice" - coming out on the 2013 AthFest CD Sampler.  AthFest is a local organization that provides education and support through AthFest Educates.

AthFest Educates inspires, engages, and educates the youth and adults of Athens in music and arts by providing sustained funding for programs and initiatives through events that showcase the community’s talent. 

This is the third song I've had on one these complilations. I'm proud to be a part of the Athens ever morphing community, it's a great petri dish of folks making things.  Release date is June 18, go to http://athfest.com/ for more info.
