In 2013, working with longtime musical theatre collaborators Susan Lambert and Rob Kendt, Lamkin contributed vocals for the family friendly album O Baby Mine: Sing a Song of Shakespeare (2014) from 134 West. Lamkin and singer Benita Scheckel provide vocals on the track Witches Song.

Along with Stephanie Bennett and Eva Gordon, Lamkin was part of American balladeer group the Bards of FoDLA. The group's music, featuring Celtic harps, guitar and vocals, was inspired by the spiritual ideologies of the ancient Druids and named in honor of Fódla, one of the three patron goddesses of ancient Ireland. Lamkin's original songwriting and vocals are featured on the title track Sacred Oaks, from the group's album Sacred Oaks (2012) from Harpworld Music Co.

"Balancing the Moon" was Lamkin's first full-length play. Set in 1934, the supernatural screwball comedy featured an ancient Celtic Goddess, an Irish love fairy, and a confederation of witches and mischievous spirits, scheming to help rigid, Freudian psychoanalyst Jared Thornhill remember his repressed magical past. The play, directed by Wynn Marlow, had a workshop production at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre on October 30 and ran through November 20th, 2011. "The idea for the story came from Virginia Woolf's 1929 book A Room of One's Own, says Lamkin. The book-length essay struck a chord with Lamkin as it presented the dilemma of the woman writer who has no money of her own and no time or quiet place to write, because of limitations imposed by her roles as obedient daughter, wife, or mother—subject matter Lamkin felt was still relevant today. The title Balancing the Moon, while at first related to character Charlotte Thornhill's struggle as a frustrated poet and the cosmic influences of the moon on women, later came to echo the lead character psychoanalyst Jared Thornhill's struggle to unravel the mystery of the female psyche through his inner battle between Freudian science and Jungian spiritualism.
