Flint & Feather (Joal and Lauren Kamps) are a free-spirited husband and wife duo that are passionate about connecting with people through folk/roots music, storytelling, and laughter. Their original ‘Rocky Mountain Folk-Pop’ songs draw inspiration from Canadian history, rocky mountain folklore, and their own personal journeys – and the Kamps’ honest and engaging approach to performance connects with listeners of all ages and backgrounds. 

Based in Calgary, AB Joal and Lauren first began performing together as Flint & Feather after attending Canada's Music Incubator's Artist Entrepreneur Program in Toronto, ON. Soon afterwards they gigged cross-Canada with VIA Rail's Artists On Board Program, and have since independently booked and performed 59 concerts in Western Europe, and performed over 160 concerts throughout western Canada, including a host of performances at music festivals, summer concert series, community events, and intimate house concerts.

‘Top 3’ winners of the 2018 Prophets of Music’s Emerging Artist Program and 2018 Hornby School for Emerging Artists alumni, The Kamps’ spent a five-week songwriting residency at the Banff Centre last fall, and showcased this new material internationally at the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA) in Chattanooga, TN, USA this past spring. Flint & Feather also showcased for the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) in Saskatoon, SK this past fall, all in preparation for the release of their debut album in March 2020.



***Prior to forming 'Flint & Feather', Joal previously released two full-length albums as 'JOAL KAMPS', winning multiple awards for his songwriting and recorded works, and performing numerous tours and festival dates throughout western Canada, Europe, and The United States all as self-taught, independent Canadian performing artist.
