Biography

Born in New York, Kamp grew up in the Northeast U.S. before moving to Seattle where he began his music career. He fronted a trio, Ponticello, which released four albums. During this time, Kamp released his first solo album, Dedications (1996). Kamp moved to Los Angeles in 2001 and started a new group, Union Pacific. He performed with other bands and worked as a session musician before being hired as the bassist for Shooter Jennings' band, the .357s.[1]

Kamp also continued his solo career, with his album Divisadero[2][3] ranked as #34 on the Americana Music Association's 2007 chart.

In 2011, Kamp released Get Back to the Land,[4] which made the top 25 on the Americana Radio Chart and was #1 on the Euro Americana Chart.

In January 2013, Kamp released Night Owl,[5] which made the US Americana Radio Chart (#34) and the Euro Americana Chart (#15).

Kamp self-released The Low and Lonesome Sound in 2015, followed a year later by the acoustic album Flying Solo.[6][7] He joined Ted Wulfers to record the classic song Tulsa Time to help support the Red Cross of Oklahoma. 100% of the proceeds were donated to The Oklahoma Red Cross.
