Willie Chambers

True to the spirit of Time Has Come Today, The Chambers Brothers’ classic, perennially popular 1968 song that launched the four sibling vocal ensemble to global superstardom, Willie Chambers continues to bring a timeless energy and musical excitement and innovation to audiences today, whether he’s playing rock and roll or the gospel music that first inspired him and his famous siblings to write, record, and perform. Longtime Chambers Brothers fans and rock historians well remember the time in the 60s and 70s when, like their West Coast contemporaries Sly and the Family Stone, the constantly touring groups shattered racial and musical divides to forge an incendiary fusion of funk, gospel, blues, and psychedelia.  In the years before they achieved household name status – which came via a string of appearances in the Big Apple circa 1965, introduced by none other than Bob Dylan – the Brothers were a church-born and bred group that broke ground and pushed cultural boundaries.
