Today von Kampen also announces new tour dates opening for the Wood Brothers that kick off Sept 10th in Houston.

That Spell was written late one winter's night out of the frustration of the world around me. #metoo was a well established movement but I wasn't seeing the change in my own life or the world around me in the ways I wanted to. There are layers to the experiences of oppression but my aim was to appeal to anyone who had been subjected to inequality. This is an ironically happy sounding song that plays into the narrator's initial need to fake smiles, play nice, and not offend. But by the end of the first chorus I hope the listener can relate to the call of putting their foot down and doing what feels right to their true self.

The release of "That Spell" follows news of her signing to Fantasy Records, and the subsequent release of four new songs that appear on the forthcoming album, "Water Flowing Downward," "Take Back Thy Gift, "Of Him I Love Both Day and Night" and the Beach Boys cover "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On my Shoulder). "She brings fresh energy to traditional folk elements with loads of quiet power," said RIFF Magazine.
