Camino 84 is the moniker of producer/songwriter Ryan Lucht, from Boston. He makes power pop and indie rock, but with jazz and disco as his main inspirations. A bit like Steely Dan, but you may also recognize hints of Ben Folds, Jason Mraz and Phoenix.

Camino 84 have long been ‘a man and his laptop’. However, Lucht gradually started working with others to bring his imaginative songs to life for live performances. By now, it’s an actual band.

Standing Back Up is their new single. An ultimately hopeful and upbeat song, although the lyrics are cutting with every line. It’s already proven to resonate with fans, prompting dozens of messages about how meaningful the song has been to those struggling with their own challenges in life.
