Caamp rolls into St. Petersburg this Saturday night, bringing the Ohio folk outfit's sepia-toned sound and a stacked touring résumé to the Mahaffey Theater with support from Whitney. The show lands as the band continues its run behind fifth studio album Copper Changes Color, and tickets remain available for the Oct. 3 date.
Caamp formed when childhood friends Taylor Meier and Evan Westfall started writing and playing songs together at coffee shops around Athens, Ohio, back in 2013, according to cleveland.com. What began as a two-man project has since grown into a full band, now rounded out by Matt Vinson on bass, Joseph Kavalec on keys and Nicholas Falk on drums, per shorefire.com. The group is described as an Ohio-based alternative-folk band that has amassed more than 2.5 billion streams worldwide as of last year's album announcement.
The band's current tour supports Copper Changes Color, released June 6, 2025, via Mom+Pop Music. The 11-track record marked Caamp's first full-length release in three years, shorefire.com notes, and continues what cleveland.com describes as the band's sepia-toned folk tradition, with recurring themes of love, grief and healing running through its songs.
A Tour Built On Sold-Out Rooms
Caamp's road history behind the new record has been strong enough to pack houses nationwide. The band's 2025 U.S. tour kicked off May 29 in Austin, Texas, and was slated to hit 25 cities across the country, according to the same shorefire.com release. By June, cleveland.com reported that Caamp was selling out Copper tour shows across the country, including a June 12 stop with Whitney and Gardener at Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland.
Whitney isn't a new addition to Caamp's lineup of tourmates. The band was listed as direct support on several dates during the 2025 run, the same Cleveland show among them, and now returns as the special guest for the St. Petersburg stop, according to the Mahaffey Theater's own event listing. That pairing has carried into the current stretch of dates, giving Saturday's crowd a continuation of a partnership already tested on bigger stages.
What St. Petersburg Fans Can Expect
Caamp's current tour isn't without a heavier chapter behind it. The band halted a 2023 tour so Meier could tend to his mental health, cleveland.com reported, a detail that adds context to the band's more recent run of packed rooms and renewed momentum.
For St. Petersburg concertgoers, the logistics are straightforward: Caamp and Whitney take the stage at the Mahaffey Theater Saturday, and tickets for the performance are on sale now. The band's broader touring footprint has also included stops close to home turf for Florida fans, including an Aug. 26, 2025 date at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre in St. Augustine.
