Get Back To The and Land - CD release tour

Hello again music lovers,

The TRK CD release tour is underway. Get Back To The Land comes out officially in the US on Tuesday May 10, this week!
It is already available on my website www.tedrussellkamp.com and iTunes Europe, but it will be on iTunes here on Tuesday.

I am now in Fort St. John in British Columbia, Canada (a 20 hour drive north from Seattle (thankfully I flew in)) playing some shows.

I will be touring the country for the next 6 months or so starting with Oklahoma and Texas next week, then another South East run in June, so stay tuned for a show in your area.

On the release night, 5/10 at 8pm CST, 6pm PST, I am playing a show live on the web "Get Back To The Living Room". Please view and chat and make requests in real time. It's on www.stageit.com and it will be a 1/2 hour pay what you can performance. There are only 50 tickets, so please sign up early and reserve your spot.

Great things are happening. If you want to see some great press that the record is receiving, please check out what
No Depression writer Adam Sheets wrote "Ted is a star on the rise ... in the tradition of great troubadours such as Guy Clark" www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/steady-at-the-wheel-a?xg_source=activity by writer Adam Sheets

or the Big Takeover's Michael Toland wrote "One of the best bits about this music critic gig is watching gifted artists get better and better. Kamp simply knocks one ball after another out of the park. Clichés become new ideas in Kamp’s mind ... The strings and horns and the singing couldn’t be any more personable and heartfelt.

Please stay tuned for the Shooter Jennings 'Electric Rodeo' on Sirius XM show next week to where I will be a featured guest.

and if you would like to be a part of the action, I am starting the Ted Head street team
Please be in touch and email me at ted@tedrussellkamp.com
I can send out posters to you, you can help put them up and spread the word about the shows,
