The January Lanterns is an indie-folk-pop duo created by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Kristen Camp. The high school sweethearts have navigated life’s highs and lows together and their music is a raw and heartfelt expression of their journey. With bittersweet harmonies and poignant lyrics, they craft a sound that blends warm folk melodies with pop-infused production, creating something deeply intimate yet expansive.
Based in Missouri, The January Lanterns’ music speaks to anyone who’s lived through love, loss, and the complex beauty of personal growth. Their second album, That’s What We’ll Be, released in May 2025, follows their debut LP, For The Kids, When They’re Older (2022), and several singles that paved the way for their evolving sound. That’s What We’ll Be offers a collection of stories about vulnerability, transformation, and embracing life’s uncertainties. In early 2026, the duo released their latest single “Fade” which has also garnered success in songwriting contests.
As recent Grand Prize winners in the 2025 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, they have continued to earn critical recognition and commercial success.
Their music is a comforting embrace—a glowing light in the darkness of life's challenges—offering stories of vulnerability, hope, and transformation. Two lanterns, burning bright in the night sky.
