Laiya's World: One Of Philly's Best Kept Secrets - Curt Chambers
Laiya's World:
One Of Philly's Best Kept Secrets - Curt Chambers
So, you might not hear Curt Chambers' name when most people go down their roster of Philly's finest musicians, but I'm going tell you why you should put him on your list. Mainly because you are already a fan and just don't know it...yet.
His guitar can be heard on various projects with artists like Anthony Hamilton, Ledisi, Heather Headly, Musiq Souldchild, Jaheim and Eminem. He is a part of the elite--but not elitist--crew of Philly musicians who grew up musically at an event/movement called the Black Lily, which was a weekly show that gave a stage to new artists like Jazmine Sullivan at age 13, Jaguar Wright, Kindred the Family Soul and too many more to mention.
But, on the night of March 31, 2001, it was all about Curt Chambers--the guitar and the voice. The voice that took him and his friends better known as Franklin Bridge, to be runners up on ABC's "America's Best Band."
I could talk about Curt all day, but then you wouldn't have a reason to watch the video!
Get to know Curt Chambers in the video below.
