Caamp

Caamp is an American indie folk duo from Columbus, Ohio, formed by childhood friends Taylor Meier and Evan Westfall, who met in high school and began writing songs together around 2012 before officially adopting the Caamp name a few years later. Meier handles guitar and lead vocals, while Westfall's banjo playing gives the group its distinctive rustic texture, placing them firmly within the modern Americana and alt-folk revival alongside artists exploring a similarly warm, campfire-inspired sound.

The duo built a devoted following through raw, emotionally direct songwriting and stripped-down arrangements that favor acoustic instrumentation over studio polish. Songs like «By and By» and «Strawberries» showcase their knack for melancholic, nostalgic melodies paired with plainspoken lyrics about love, loss and home, a combination that resonated widely on streaming platforms and helped their catalog find audiences well beyond typical folk circles.

Caamp's albums, including their self-titled debut and the «Boys» series, reflect a gradual expansion from bare-bones porch-folk into fuller, more textured arrangements while keeping the intimacy of their early work intact. Their live shows are known for an unpolished, heartfelt energy that mirrors the authenticity at the core of their recorded output.
