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.

Hello again friends,

It has been a pretty full year already.
We are having a great time on the road with Shooter.

My next record is almost done - I am hoping for an April release on Dualtone Records.
The album will be called 'Get Back To The Land' - and I think it's my best work yet.

Europe was a Success! back home...

2010-02-23T11:04:00.000-08:00

Hello again good people of cyberspace.

I am writing again to let you know that my tour in Europe was a huge success.
3 weeks. 6 shows with a full band. 10 more solo - just me, a guitar and a mandolin.

Sweden was wonderful - I played with a great band from Gothenburg called Little Green www.myspace.com/littlegreenswe. We played Gothenburg, Stockholm, a great Country festival in Sunne and some other great club dates. There is a great article about our show in Uppsala on www.countrywood.se

Finland was unbelievable. I played a great concert in Helsinki and then one of the classic rock clubs there too - the Liberte. I also met up with some of the great musicians and DJs that will help make my next rip there great.

Then onto the Netherlands where I did some great shows with a wonderful Dutch singer/songwriter Eric De Vries. I played live on the great radio show with DJ Gerrit Vermeij at www.muziekvenster.nl. And I recorded a live studio performance with on Ditch national Radio with DJ Paul Harvey which will air on Roots Radio 6 on 3/21. I even met up with some cousins I have never met before. My Dad's family moved from Holland to the USA after World War II. So it was an inspiring homecoming of sorts.

And my shows in Belgium were wonderful. I played a really cool little honky tonk in Lauwe and an incredible show just outside of Brussels at the historic Toogenblik. Youtube videos are up from that show already - and there was a great review of the show that is online as well at www.rootstime.be.

Here are some of the youtube clips of my performance taken by Roen Het Zwoen:

Our calendar is starting to fill up and it looks like this will be another great year of touring. So please stay tuned on www.shooterjennings.com fro our tour dates.

And my new record is still in the works. I am hoping to have it out by the Summer or early Fall.

Europa! Europa!

2010-02-01T04:09:00.000-08:00

Hello again, good people of the internet.
I am back overseas and I wanted to share a little of what's ben going on.

My tour started out with a LONG flight from LAX to Amsterdam, then a short one to Sweden.

I did my first show here in Gothenburg with some great promoters called Woody West. And I performed at a very cool rock club called Pustervisk, the same venue where I played with Shooter Jennings my first time in Sweden a few years back, so it was a homecoming of sorts. We also did a great in-store at an (almost) Vinyl only record store call Dirty Records. Almost 50 people came to the in-store and I almost spent as much as my plane ticket over on cool obscure bootlegs. (They are real music lovers over here and I got sucked right in).

Next onto Amal Sweden, where we played in a great club called the XO. It was a dreamy snowy Christmas Card kind of town. I had played here last year, and we had a great crowd, and got some good youtube footage, so I will let you know when that gets posted.

Then onto the town of Sunne, Sweden for a country music festival. This was my first Country Fest in Sweden. It was a wild one. They imported A LOT of Jim Beam to have authentic bourbon on hand. They served up 'American style chili' and hot dogs and beans, and it felt as much like a Wild West costume party as a music festival. I played well, and my band Little Green, did wonderfully. We did Swamp Water Whiskey and Down in Mexico - two of my songs I have never really done live. They both play up the romantic imagery of wildness in America (running moonshine, singing the blues, and getting in trouble in Juarez) so I thought a European audience would enjoy them - and they did.

And today I did an on the air interview on Swedish National Radio. Later I fly to Helsinki for my first shows in Finland which start tomorrow.

Then back to Sweden for some more shows here, and then Holland and Belgium.

Thanks again for supporting the cause.
Making music across the pond...

Ted to guest on the Electric Rodeo on Sirius XM

2009-06-25T23:55:00.000-07:00

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

Notes from The Underground (or the tube, actually)

2008-12-05T06:37:00.000-08:00

Hello music lovers.
I am at about the 1/2 way point of the European cd release tour for Poor Man's Paradise and it is going great, or smashingly (as they say in the UK).

I played last night at a great folk room called the Green Note in historic Camden Town - smack dab in the middle of London. It was a great show - and I hooked up with an old friend, another great American musician - Kevin Montgomery. (www.kevinmontgomery.com). Kevin just finished a pretty amazing 50 states in 50 days tour of the US, so it was great to catch up with him.

And here is a little tip for other musicians coming through London - they love the mandolin. Maybe it's the troubadour/bard history of England, but they simply LOVE the mandolin. My solo mandolin version of 'Old Folks Blues' from the new record was called brilliant by at least 6 different people.

I also recorded a live set that will be broadcast on the radio by the great Barry Marshall-Everitt. His show www.totalrock.com is one of the great roots music and Americana stations broadcast out of England. We also shared some good old fashioned lamb stew with wis wife, the incredibly talented Bex Marshall.

Another great night of music was up in Northeast London. I worked with some great promoters - Stephen and Allison who put on a weekly night at a great pub called The Sheepwalk. The night is called What's Cookin'. If you are in London on a Wednesday - you must go to this night. Great bands, great people, and a great music loving and listening audience. I was also excited to play here because it is just a few miles away from St. Albans (which i, of course, mispronounced) - the home of the great British rock band, The Zombies. I debuted a Zombies cover tune for them to pay my respects to the British and thank them on the night of my first UK show on my own.

And this morning, I flew to Gothenburg, Sweden. I am excited to be back here, having played here with Shooter Jennings in April of '07, (and it is just as cold as I remembered it). I am loving the traveling and the playing, and the whole making friends and fans around the world idea - but it would be nice if I could bring the weather of L.A. with me everywhere I went.

And the next phase of the tour is 5 shows in Norway and Sweden with the great Swedish band, Little Green, playing as my back-up band. Then back to Spain where I will be joined for 4 shows by some old friends and musicians from L.A. so we can bring the TRK experience to the good people of Spain in all it's glory.

Thanks for reading - and enjoying the music.
Please check out the specific tour dates on my myspace page or regular website.

And please check out www.tedrussellkamp.com
It is now the only place in America where you can officially buy the new CD ! ! !
The official release date in the US will be Feb 17. So be the first one on your cyber-block to get online and get the new disc. (I worked very hard on it to try to make it very good).
and please sign up to be on the official Ted email list for more updates about shows and music in general.
thanks so much
Hej Da (which is Swedish for good bye - until next time)

Hello music lovers,

As some of you may know, I am in the middle of a European tour which is the cd release tour for Poor Man's Paradise. The shows are going wonderfully so I wanted to take a minute out and share some of the good news about the first stop on the tour, Paris.

Top 10 things to do in Paris:

10. play my first real gig in France at the very cool and historic Cafe de la Danse.

9. be the opening act for, and then get to hang out with, Gary Louris and Mark Olson - who started the great roots rock band the Jayhawks.

8. be a tourist - stop by the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.

7. run into a great singer songwriter i played with long ago: Chris Stills, who is actually living in Paris and is about to star in a musical version of the life of Julius Caesar (in French).

6. hang out with family.

5. see some art - there was a great exhibit on Picasso at the D'Orsay Museum.

4. do some radio interviews. - with Johnny Da Piedade fro his show Big Cactus Country which is broadcast out of Disneyland Paris. I was slightly bummed that the giant Mickey Mouse did not have a beret. I also had a great afternoon with Lucie Blanc Dumont who runs the great French roots music site Lucky Honky Tonk.

3. run into an old friend from NY completely by accident and share a bottle of great French wine in a cool cafe.

2. have a drink where my Dad used to drink in the 60's.

1. alternate between trying to fit in and then let yourself completely stick out like every other ugly American.

Hello Music Lovers,

Welcome to the debut of the new TRK website. We have lots of cool features here including this very blog, where I will be checking in and giving updates on the latest news from the road and the studio.

The new record, Poor Man's Paradise, will be coming out on November 25 in Europe and on February 10 in the U.S. with distribution through Dualtone Records and Proper in the UK.

We will kick off the release with a 3 week tour of Europe this November and December with stop in Spain, France, England, Sweden and Norway. We will be joining Gary Louris and Mark Olson of the Jayhawks for several shows in Paris and Spain, and Sweden's own Little Green through Scandinavia. In early '09, we will hit the road in States too, so be sure to check back here on the website's tour page or the myspace - www.myspace.com/tedrussellkamp - for all the dates, venues, and details.

And don't forget to check out the new Radio TRK on the home page of tedrussellkamp.com where you can tune in to some of the some featured songs including a new acoustic version of a song from the forthcoming record. It is called 'Let Love Do The Rest'. I wrote this one with a great L.A. singer songwriter David Serby. It is a little soul, a little country, and very moody. The song relates to how I feel - so often it gets hard to make good choices when we are surrounded by stress and bills and not wanting to have our heart broken (again!), but at the end of the day, the best way to find a little peace and happiness is often to just stop over-thinking things and just get out of the way, letting love do the rest...

We will also be adding more songs from the new record every so often to the site and we will keep updating you here. And please don't forget to sign up for the mailing list so we can keep you posted on new tour dates and when and where the new record will be available. We will start selling advance copies and taking pre-orders in the next few weeks.

Here is a huge thank you and a shout out to Franco and Al at pixxar.com for designing and putting this site together.

And thank you for supporting the cause of independent music in America. Hope to see you or hear from you soon.

Ted featured in Bass Player Magazine!
Read on the BassPlayer website.

Review of Divisidero from Folkworld: - one of the most respected roots music publications in Europe!

Translated from the German. Original here. "The native New Yorker Ted Russell Kamp has today a domicile in Los Angeles, however is almost continuously on the road. Thus his CD was taken up "Divisadero" - some fine work done also on the road, in hotel rooms, in the living room to LA or also in the route bus. Kamp is even a talented multi-instrument musician, beside singing and his main instrument, bass, also plays guitars - inclusive Lap Steel guitar - plays Bouzouki, mandoline, accordion, Wurlitzer, Hammond organ, Perkussion, trumpet and trombone. He worked with different outstanding musicians together and individually, in order to give to the 11 self-compositions the necessary variety. Varied is also the selection of the songs. It gives quiet Country Ballads, which press on the tear gland, over slow bluesey Road Songs up to rockin' Blues pieces, rhythmic Country Songs and jazzey undertone to everything. My favorite is: A bluesy Country Ballad, "Gypsy's Tune", with which beside Kamps winsome singing, particularly stands out with the pedal Steel guitar of Eric Heywood. The funky Blues slash Road Song "Another One Night Stand", which is brilliant with the interaction of Kamp's guitar, piano (Brian Wheelan) and Drums (Mike Sessa) and the great rhythm. Kamp plays with Shooter Jennings in his band the 357's and his friend joins for a song. With the jazzy "Better Before You Were Big time" unite the singing of the two mad musicians with the sound of Michael Webb's Hammond organ and Kamps horn. And with the Road Song "The Road Keeps Getting Longer" produces 357 bandmate Leroy Powell at the Dobro, Kamp at the banjo and Jennings at the Piano a create a melancholy tendency. Ted Russell Kamp becomes of North star Entertainment as the brightest new star of the Americana genre. I think that this praise is quite earned. Solid music history connects itself with mad compositions, excellent singing and simple however perfect arrangements."
