February update - upcoming shows and new CD

Friends, Music Lovers and Countrymen (and women),
I am back with another email to let you know about some upcoming shows and my new record.

Last month my new record, Get Back To The Land, was released. It is now available only at the Ted website - www.tedrussellkamp.com and at live shows. Get your copy now. You can hear a few of the tracks on the website too - as well as www.myspace/tedrussellkamp

The Europe Get Back To The Land CD Release Tour
was a huge success. I played 6 countries in 3 weeks last month. Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and France. The record debuted at #1 on the EuroAmericana Cahrt, we got lots of great airplay and the shows were great. I want to thank Little Green - the band I work with in Sweden and Eric de Vries, a Dutch songwriter who helped put together my band for some of the Netherlands and Germany shows, as well as all of the club owners, promoters, friends, supporters, and fans who came to the shows and supported the music.

On a cool note, I recorded one of the shows in Helsinki Finland and it may become a live CD at some point later this year.
