Acclaimed folk-rock band Caamp hits the road in 2025! The band recently released their brand new EP, Somewhere, their first collection of new music since 2022. The EP captures the band's signature warmth and introspective storytelling while exploring themes of love, change, nostalgia, and letting go.
Leading the release is "Let Things Go," a track that embodies the EP's reflective core. With its gentle, rolling arrangement and lyrics urging release and renewal, the song serves as a poignant reminder of the power of moving forward.
Caamp's loyal fans have helped them amass 2.2B + streams across their entire discography, 4.3MM + Monthly Listeners across DSPs, and an active social media following. With sold-out tours, headlining festival plays, and TV appearances, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS This Morning, and Stephen Colbert, Caamp continues its journey with this new EP and single.
Caamp hails from Columbus, Ohio, and was founded by Taylor Meier and Evan Westfall, who grew up together. They launched the band out of Athens, OH, where Meier was attending Ohio University. Caamp has released four previous full-lengths - their self-titled 2016 debut, 2018's Boys, By and By in 2019 and Lavender Days in 2022.
Great environment for a wonderful night of Caamp music. New backdrops, new songs, same wonderful music!!
Great show and atmosphere (and the rain held off which was a bonus). Good mix of old and new music. Only wished they’d played a few more up tempo songs to keep the energy going in the crowd.
I was glad to see vaccinations or negative test results were required for this event. I would not have attended if they were not and were not effectively enforced. I’m glad to see this public safety protocol was being followed and able to make this a safe and fun event!
Best CAAMP concert I’ve ever been to!! The venue was great, the music sounded great, and the crowd was great!
Music was great, venue was great and vaccination confirmation process was fast and easy. Was nice to know folks in crowd were vaccinated!
Check in was all over the place! A large group ditched right in front of us where two lines collided near the front. Very confused as to what line we needed to be in. Get it together Express!!! :-/ CAAMP was GREAT, you are lucky to get such awesome talent in your venue.
This concert was incredible, with the huge discography they have so much material that I heard maybe 2/3 repeat songs between the two nights. I was very impressed with their talent, especially the violinist. The venue was awesome being outdoors and although hot provided a great atmosphere for the music. The only tiny drawback I have is that the banjo was hard to hear. Not sure if they Mic'd it through the amp or how it worked, but was just quieter and harder to hear. Despite that the concert was still incredible, would definitely go again for another 2 night show!
We went to the concert in Columbus at the Express Live! venue and it was perfect! My friend said they sound so great in person, better than their recordings, and I agree! Would love to see them again soon.
love this band's recorded albums, and their live shows bring another energy. full of heart, they will give you all the feels in every melody shared. highly recommend!
Fortunate to see CAAMP perform in several states and always worth the trip. Music and artistry come from the heart. Excited to see them at Durham DPAC. Always fun, interactive and genuine.
Great seats! Both shows were incredible! Bendigo Fletcher slaaaaayed. Amazing! Caamp was even better live and had everyone on their feet. So great!
Great band, still a fan for sure but I don't understand disappointing fans by not playing your most popular songs... You're still and "up and coming band" so every set list should include your Top 5 most popular songs on Spotify. You were headlining so you had plenty of time.
Fantastic venue, excellent opener, killer music from Caamp...superb night.
I don’t know if it was just the venue we saw them in, but they were incredible! Sounded just as good or better than on Spotify!
Caamp is unimaginably talented and it is a pleasure to see the perform. However this was one of my least favorite concert experiences. The 2 openers were very long and admittedly boring. They played 2 nearly identical sets that could have been combined. The acoustics at the Newport were not ideal, it was nearly impossible to make out unknown lyrics or what the performers were saying. The worst part of my experience was the rest of the crowd around me - everyone was talking during Caamp’s set, and the music was not loud enough to drown them out. They were either uninterested in new songs or bored from the openers or uninterested altogether. This stuck out here more than other shows i’ve attended. I know all of this is at NO FAULT to the band and they still provided an amazing performance !!!!! I bought tickets to Red Rocks and can’t wait for that experience.
Really enjoyed the Caamp concert at the Newport on NYE. Great music! The countdown to midnight was casual and fun and made me feel like we were in someone's living room. Thanks Caamp for sharing this night with Columbus.
Great venue, great performance! This show was fantastic
The speakers were so jumbled it was hard to know what instruments were even being played ! Newport provides an awful sound system....... I will never go there again until they update the quality of the sound. But I love CAAMP!
Hey. Let me be honest. Caamp is a phenomenal group, with a soulful sound and catchy tunes. Love the guy. Literally already have tickets to another show. But dude. The crowd at Newport was roughhhh and kinda made the whole experience pretty hard to get into. Obnoxious college kids and a chatty crowd. I know that’s unfair, but that’s the review I’ve given to my friends and family.
I really love their music but unfortunately the lead of the band lacked true stage presence and the song selection was very poor. My wife and I were anticipating to be blown away by caamp. Instead we left early disappointed. I will still listen to their music but I think my days of going to see them live are done.
