ABOUT

I play what I love! I have much experience in Rock-N-Roll bands playing original music, and some playing covers. The videos here are all from 2016 (except for the two "audition" videos of me jamming with a drum machine, which are from Oct. 2017) and include me solo, with the current jump blues band I'm in, and at a June reunion show in Columbia, MO with my old band The Fugitive Kind. Have been doing solo acoustic for awhile, and I play tenor sax in Virginia & The Slims in the Asheville area. Now I realize I need to Rock! Still, to be honest I love acoustic music, and want to continue to do that also. I have lots of my own music. Check out www.jameskamp.net. Or check my albums (my name is James Kamp) at www.cdbaby.com/cd/kamp. Phone is (828)335-1401, or kampjames at that one where the mail gets hot.
