Cory Chambers Live at Driftaway Cafe | Sandfly Songwriter Series with Josephine Johnson

Josephine Johnson hosts a live Sandfly Songwriter Series episode at Driftaway Cafe in Sandfly - Savannah, Georgia, featuring local multi-instrumentalist Cory Chambers (City Hotel, Swamp Tooth) and audience Q&A.   Chambers discusses arriving in Savannah in 2011, his Atlanta-area roots, starting guitar at 18, and inspirations including John Prine. He performs songs about his grandfathers (“Ridin’ Next to Me” and the new “Concrete and Cabbagetown,” set in Depression-era Atlanta), plus Swamp Tooth material rooted in conspiracy themes (“Blue Beam,” “Reptiles on a Magazine”) and a warehouse-work anthem (“Made in China”) based on his job shipping automated cat litter boxes.   He also plays “Night Flight” about River Street’s Night Flight Cafe and debuts “Cupid Blue,” inspired by Laurel Grove Cemetery. Chambers plugs a Foxy Loxy solo gig and Swamp Tooth’s album Reptiles on a Magazine.   CONNECT WITH US: VISIT DRIFTAWAY CAFE MEET JOSEPHINE JOHNSON MEET CORY CHAMBERS LIVE MUSIC, SOUND & PRODUCTION TEAM DEE DANIELS MEDIA   FIND A FAVORITE SPOT IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Series Welcome 00:47 Meet Cory Chambers 02:12 Dinner Plans and Questions 02:54 News and First Song 03:57 Ridin Next to Me 09:09 City Hotel vs Swamp Tooth 11:44 Origins and Early Music 15:25 Concrete and Cabbagetown 23:44 Family and Armstrong Story 26:31 Swamp Tooth Songwriting 28:11 Project Blue Beam Song 32:50 Vito Update and Bluegrass 33:20 Solo Gigs and Duo Setup 34:05 Dinner Break and Thanks 35:23 Reptiles on a Magazine 41:09 Warehouse Anthem Made in China 44:47 Cat Litter Box Day Job 46:11 Influences and Songwriting Pride 49:35 Superpower Talk and Night Flight 56:11 Closing Song Cupid Blue 01:00:16 Next Gig and Merch Plug 01:01:46 Series Outro and Credits
