During this time, Kamp released his first solo album, Dedications (1996). Kamp moved to Los Angeles in 2001 and started a new group, Union Pacific. He performed with other bands and worked as a session musician before being hired as the bassist for Shooter Jennings' band, the .357s.[1]

Kamp also continued his solo career, with his album Divisadero[2][3] ranked as #34 on the Americana Music Association's 2007 chart.
