Ted is doing Facebook Live shows almost every Wednesday (5pm PST) and Satuday (noon PST). It’s the “We’re Gonna Make It” series broadcast right from Ted’s home studio, The Den. Ted has also done many extra FB and Instagram live shows to help promote the release of Down In The Den including shows on 7/29 hosted by SixthMan and the Outlaw Country Cruise and 7/30 hosted by Americana Highways. Please check Tour Dates for other special live streaming and live shows.

Ted, Shooter & Duff McKagan tour dates

2019 is shaping up to a great year of making music on the road. I’ll be doing some TRK solo and band shows including my L.A. CD release show at the Hotel Cafe on April 12 where I’ll play a set of my own and also play with the Hawt-thorns. I’ll also be touring a lot and playing with my old friend, Shooter Jennings – including some shows where I will be his opening act! I’ll also be playing with Duff McKagan on a bunch of tour dates this year. Shooter produced Duff’s new record which comes out this year and features the rest of the Shooter Jennings Band. Duff, being a truly great rock bass player (he was driving force behind Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver), didn’t really need another bass player on the record, but I’ll be playing bass in his band as we bring the show on the road.

I’ll be staying in touch on FB and instagram and please check the tour dates page of the website.

March 2016

Hello again music lovers,

It’s a great pleasure to be back in touch with you. It’s been a long time and I have a lot of great things to share.

I have a new acoustic record called Flying Solo which is coming out this week, I am headed to Texas and then Europe for some CD release tours and I have been playing a ton of music and producing some great records in Los Angeles.

Flying Solo

The new record is made up of 12 songs that are mostly just voice and acoustic guitar.

It has 6 new songs recorded in my home studio, The Den, and 6 live recordings culled from concerts and radio station visits from the last few years. One song, which was recorded live in Finland, is a solo mandolin and vocal version of ‘Steady At The Wheel’ which I wrote back when I was touring with  Shooter Jennings and was #1 on Texas radio for 6 weeks.

Some of the songs were co-written with my friends at home in the L.A. country-rock scene (Kirsten Proffit of Calico, David Serby, Bobby Joyner, Nicole Gordon), in Austin (Tony Scalzo of Fastball, Gordy Quist of the Band of Heathens) and in Nashville (Chris Tompkins). One of the guest musicians is an amazing guitarist I play with when I tour in Finland named Tommi Viksten.

Flying Solo is finally the acoustic record which accurately captures my live solo shows when I tour solo with just my suitcase and guitar.

It is available here: www.cdbaby.com/cd/tedrussellkamp3  and at my live shows. It’ll be up on iTunes and other sites in the next week or so.

Producing

 

I have also really been hitting my stride in my home studio producing a few really great records in this last year.

I just finished co-producing an EP with AJ Hobbs. AJ is a great old school country singer and songwriter. He will also be going to Texas this month and we will be doing a bunch of shows together. His EP, The Den Sessions, is available on his website and at his live shows. www.AJHobbsmusic.com

Nate Smith is a great singer songwriter and rock musician from Los Angeles. His debut record, Around and Around features some truly soulful singing and some more rocking Neil Young and Crazy Horse style rock and roll as well as some stunningly beautiful and spacious ballads. www.cdbaby.com/cd/natesmith3

Creekwood is a great band from Orange Country. We met a few years ago and they brought me in to produce their record. Creekwood are a very talented band that wanted to create a classic and clean singer songwriter meets country sound featuring their great harmony singing and virtuosic fiddle and banjo players. Their record, 2000 Miles West, came out a few months ago. www.creekwoodofficial.com

 

Here is some info on 2 Recordings that are almost done…..

Robin Wiley is another great singer and songwriter I have been working with. Robin has been living in Austin so our writing and recording sessions have been spread out over time whenever one of us is in each other’s home city. We did some great sessions in Austin and L.A and the EP is finally almost ready. www.robinwiley.com

Richie Allbright is a killer old shcool country singer and songwriter from the Corpus Christi area. Through mutual friends we met and did some shows together. Richie flew out to L.A. where we recorded for a week a few months back. We are now in the mixing stages and about to complete the record. www.richieallbright.com

Thanks again,

Please be in touch to check out the music, ask about some more details about anything or just stay in touch.

Viva La Music,

Ted

And from December 6-15 I will be back in TX doing another tour there.

I have also just started recording the next record! It is tentatively called ‘Resonator’. I will keep you posted and get some mp3s posted soon. I have done a few sessions in L.A. and Nashville and will be recording with my bands in Finland and in Texas on these next few tours. This next album will be even more of a ‘recorded on the road’ album than Night Owl and I am very excited about it.

Here are some great new Interviews/Performance videos from a Live-in-the-Studio session we did called the Blackwing Sessions. This is some of the highest quality stuff I have ever done. I hope you enjoy it. And this may become a Ted DVD. More news on this soon……

New recording – Ted and Ted Help Support the Red Cross of Oklahoma
I recorded the classic song ‘Tulsa Time’ with an old friend of mine Ted Wulfers (www.tedwulfers.com). We are donating 100% of the proceeds to The Oklahoma Red Cross. Even though it’s not in the news anymore, the people of OK could still use your help and are still dealing with a lot of chaos and tragedy. I have been through Oklahoma many times and have some great friends in the Oklahoma City area which was hit so hard by the tornadoes. Please check it out at http://www.tedandted.bandcamp.com/

In other news, I am now in the process of building a great home studio. I will post pictures of the construction soon and I am excited to get some music made right at home. I will be back in the studio finishing up a few records I will be producing in the next few months too. One is for the great L.A, singer and songwriter Funky Jenn Gibbons. I will also be working on a track for the great British singer/songwriter Graeme Clark and I will continue working on my next record too. Very exciting.

Here are some great new Interviews/Performance videos from a Live-in-the-Studio session we did called the Blackwing Sessions. This is some of the highest quality stuff I have ever done. I hope you enjoy it. And this may become a Ted DVD. More news on this soon……
