#Repost @jonrcamp with @repostapp ・・・ Today is the release day of “Headwinds & Tailwinds,” my new record! I'm darn happy with how it turned out, thanks to the musicians on this record (@arrivonick, @rdpeterson, @stevie.oaks, @_kaitlingrady, Jamie Linder, and Harvey Droke). And to @developing_nations for the top-notch engineering and @artbycrystalhurt for the beautiful cover! You brought it. It’s a legit investment to release an album. So should you like what you hear and wish to support my independent music, you can order a vinyl copy (they look and sound super-sharp!) or digital copy here: https://joncamp.bandcamp.com This is also available on all of the digital purchasing and streaming platforms that exist. Thanks to everyone who played a role in the making of this album, and thanks to all of you who’ve already ordered one and who come out to my shows. It means a lot to me, and I’m grateful. Cheers!

#Repost @jonrcamp with @repostapp ・・・ For those of you who take an interest in my music, I'm excited to put my new album, Headwinds & Tailwinds, up for preorder now. It'll be out Feb 22, 2019, but you can preorder and/or hear the title track now. Recorded from mid-2017 -- early-2018 at Developing Nations Recording Studio in Baltimore, this album was my attempt to take the structure of fingerstyle guitar and make a full-band studio album with it. It’s by far my most collaborative album yet, and in my humble opinion, it’s my strongest batch of tunes thus far. This album came alive thanks to the musicians on it: Nick Arrivo on bass, Ryan Peterson on drums, Jamie Linder on pedal steel, Stephen Ruotsi on keyboards, Kaitlin Grady on cello, and Harvey Droke on accordion. I can't stress enough how essential they were to this. The beautiful cover art was done by Crystal Hurt, an artist whose work I had seen on other albums I dug, so I was elated that she said yes to this and produced such a gorgeous piece. She featured Maryland/DC flora and fauna. You can preorder the album (and hear the title track) now: https://joncamp.bandcamp.com/album/headwinds-tailwinds The vinyl is printed on 150g black vinyl. The back cover features a picture of the band taken by the late Andras Fekete. My last message from him was his kind permission for me to use the pic. If you like what I’m doing, I'd be super-grateful for a purchase. For independent artists, putting out an album is a legit investment, and streaming services don’t do much to recoup that. Life is full of headwinds and tailwinds. And if this album gives you any joy or comfort as you navigate yours, it will have served its purpose. Cheers!
