Ted Russell Kamp is a Grammy winning musician and has been a professional singer songwriter, bass player, and producer for the last 20 years. His music is a powerful true American gumbo of rock and roll, blues, country and singer/songwriter styles. Rolling Stone has called Kamp an MVP of the California Roots Music scene. Ted’s record Down In The Den, came out in July 2020 was featured in Rolling Stone Country, American Songwriter and on the Sirius XM Outlaw channel and debuted at #1 on the EuroAmericana Radio chart. Ted’s newest record Solitaire came out on May 7, 2021, received critical acclaim and also debuted at #1 on the Euroamericana Radio Chart.
Aside from being a singer/songwriter and artist in his own right and releasing 13 albums of original material, he has been a member of the Shooter Jennings band for over 15 years and recorded and played with countless other artists including Duff McKagan, Wilson Phillips, Jessi Colter and many more. Ted also got his first Grammy in 2020 for playing bass on the Tanya Tucker (Best Country Music album of the year).
Matt Woods is a product of Appalachia. You can hear his East Tennessee roots tangled in the lines of his songs and it is through this filter he distills the world, both external and internal, into his unique brand of songwriting. You can call it Americana, folk rock, even country music but no matter what it’s called it is, at it core, honest and heartfelt. Spending most of his time on the road, either engaging listeners as a solo artist or with his band, Matt Woods and the Natural Disasters, he would say, if asked, that he is “just trying to share some truth and get along.”
Along the way, Matt has shared the stage with the likes of Tyler Childers, Chris Knight, Black Oak Arkansas, Frank Turner, Roger Alan Wade, Zac Brown, Drivin’ n’ Cryin’, Will Hoge, Roger Clyne (of The Refreshments), CAKE, Robbie Fulks, The White Buffalo, The Black Lillies and others. In 2022, Matt’s song “My Southern Heart” was prominently placed in the feature film Crawlspace, starring Henry Thomas (E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass).
