Episode 88: Bill Chambers

Our Guest for this episode is Bill Chambers, an Australian multi-instrumentalist country musician & producer that has been for decades a prominent figure of the music industry both in Australia and internationally.

Bill Chambers grew up in a small town in South Australia fascinated by American music. As a teenager he played any stringed instrument he could get his hands on. While his children were still toddlers, Chambers moved with his family into the Australian outback for few years.

During this time of living off the land, the Chambers family spent many nights singing country classics around the campfire. In 1987, he returned to music invigorated and formed the Dead Ringer Band featuring daughter Kasey Chambers. For the next several years the band toured all over the world. 

By 2000 daughter Kasey had established herself as a successful solo artist with Bill playing a prominent role both in the studio and on the road.
In 2002 Chambers set up his own studio, the Boneyard, and finally began working on his first solo release, Sleeping with the Blues. The album is a showcase for Chambers’ dedication to American country, folk, and blues. Frozen Ground in 2006, Drifting South in 2009, Live at the Pub Tamworth in 2013, Cold Trail 2016 and 1952 in 2019.
