Today, Columbus, Ohio band Caamp has announced the formation of the Great Heights Movement, their newly established philanthropic fund. The Great Heights Movement supports charitable programs primarily in the Columbus, Ohio area, as well as other communities the band encounters both nationally and internationally. Caamp is committed to responding to needs centered around music education, social justice and sustainability. Funds from the Great Heights Movement will be administered by The Columbus Foundation.
“We are very excited to launch the Great Heights Movement. It gives us a chance to support charities and social and environmental causes on both a local and national scale,” the band says. “Beginning last year and continuing indefinitely, a portion of proceeds from all ticket sales will go towards our fund. We encourage you to check out the newly launched website to learn more and get involved if you’d like. We’re so thankful that with the help of our incredible Caamp community we’ll be able to support causes we feel strongly about.”
Current beneficiaries of the Great Heights Movement include Harmony Project, Brightside Project and The Way Station for relief in East Palestine, Ohio, Sam’s Fans and the Kirk Horn Music Fund. Caamp is encouraged to support many other organizations doing great work as the fund continues to grow. For more information please visit the Great Height Movement website.
Last week, Caamp hit the road on an expansive North American Tour playing multi-night stints, festivals and some of the most beautiful amphitheaters across the country. The tour continues through the end of September. Highlights include Pepsi Amphitheatre in Flagstaff on May 25th, Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheatre in Park City on July 16th and Caamp’s two night residency at Chicago’s new venue The Salt Shed on September 14th and 15th, plus a few special acoustic nights throughout the tour including a return to The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on November 2nd and 3rd. Caamp will also appear at major festivals throughout the summer including BottleRock Napa Valley, Under The Big Sky, Freshgrass Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Moon River Festival and more.
Last summer Caamp released their latest album, Lavender Days via Mom+Pop. The album quickly sprung to the top of the Billboard charts with opening positions in the Top 10 on 4 different charts, including Americana, Alternative, Vinyl and Indie and Top 20 positions on 7 charts total including #83 on the Billboard Top 200. The band also hit #7 on Spotify’s U.S. Album Debut Chart. Caamp’s music has dominated the charts at Triple A radio scoring three #1 singles and five total songs that have landed in the top 10. The band appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Mornings and toured extensively, selling more tickets than ever before including their first arena headlining show. Lavender Days was produced by Caamp and Beatriz Artola and featured Nathaniel Rateliff and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield on vocals. The band was recently nominated for the Americana Music Awards duo/ group of the year. Lavender Days is available here.
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 three previous full lengths - their self-titled 2016 debut, 2018’s Boys and By and By (Mom + Pop) in 2019. The band has amassed over a billion streams globally. The Great Heights Foundation is Caamp’s way of giving back to the community that supported them in their youth and continues to be a source of inspiration and contributor to the band’s success.
