Ted to guest on the Electric Rodeo on Sirius XM

Hello cyber friends,

I will be the special guest on the Shooter Jennings Electric Rodeo show on SiriusXM Radio this weekend.
If you have been a fan of Ted and Shooter and our music (or his insanely cool radio show) - please check it out.

We spoke and interviewed each other on the air and played a bunch of the songs from my new record, Poor Man's Paradise, in the play list. We also included a lot of the songs and artists that we have bonded on: Kris Kristofferson, Jessi Colter, Leonard Cohen, J.J. Cale and many more.

It is on Sirius XM - the Outlaw Country Channel - and the show airs on both Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend 6/27 and 6/28.

In other Ted news, Poor Man's Paradise was on the Americana Chart for 3 full months and had a great run staying in the top 20 for much of that time receiving a lot of airplay around the country. So thanks to all the great stations that have been supporting the record and spreading the word.

If you want to hear or get the record or any of Ted's other albums, you can hear them on the myspace page or go to www.tedrussellkamp.com

We are looking forward ot being back on the road with Shooter playing the Warped Tour this summer. And I have recorded some new basic tracks for what may become my next record, so I am very excited to be recording and working on the road the way I have done my last records.

Thanks again for supporting the cause,
Viva la Musica
Ted
