Chambers DesLauriers
Our Time To Ride
FYC Contemporary Blues Album
ABOUT
Their love story began in 2018 when they locked eyes at a packed Memphis music conference. A year later, fate brought them back together, leading to a whirlwind romance, marriage, and a musical partnership that continues to grow.
Their latest album, Our Time to Ride, was recorded at Studio MixArt in Montreal by producer Eric Corne. It's an electrifying mix of blues-rooted grooves, soulful melodies, and rock-driven riffs. The album was largely recorded live, giving it an organic energy that mirrors their live performances.
Annika, a three-time Blues Music Award winner, brings a gospel-tinged vocal presence shaped by her Southern roots, and Paul is a six-time Maple Blues Award winner, renowned for his masterful guitar work and exhilarating performances.
Their music is a reflection of their life together—full of passion and perseverance, Our Time to Ride is a bold statement — their soul on wax, a soundtrack to love, resilience, and the road ahead.
