Founded by childhood friends Meier and Westfall in Athens, OH, Caamp rocketed to early acclaim on the strength of their self-titled 2016 debut, which generated hundreds of millions of streams across platforms and garnered the band their first gold single. Three years later, the group topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart with their sophomore effort, By and By, which hit #1 at AAA radio, earned the band festival slots everywhere from Outside Lands to Newport Folk, and led to TV performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. Caamp’s most recent album, 2022’s Lavender Days, landed on NPR’s list of the year’s best roots music, topped the Americana Albums chart, earned the band their second and third #1 singles at AAA radio, and saw the five-piece headlining their biggest shows yet, including a triumphant homecoming blowout at Columbus’s Nationwide Arena. This year, Caamp’s single “Let Things Go” earned the band their fourth #1 on AAA radio.
