The Band CAMINO - Seattle, WA - 4/1/2022

On a stormy April 1st, The Band CAMINO - with support from flor and Hastings - played to a sold out, enraptured audience at Seattle's historic Showbox SODO. This being the band's first tour since everything closed down, and armed with their self-titled, Elektra released debut that premiered in September, it was impressive to see the following and fanbase TBC has cultivated over the last several years. Selling out the SODO is no small task.

In a turn of inspired marketing that will only help to further broaden their sizable audience, a well lit photobooth was available for all fans to take selfies and share their love of the band. Given that so many are hungry for the return of live music, bands likely don't need to pull out personalized touches to bring out the crowds. Yet, in doing so, they're no doubt deepening their ties with their fans who will feel like an integral part of the action. It was fun to see, and downright admirable.

Their live set pulled mainly from their new album, with a few cuts reaching back to their 2016 and 2017 EPs. Hearing the audience sing along with tracks from each showcased the loyalty of their fans during an electric, energetic performance that was sincere in its engagement with the audience and tight with showmanship. For old fans, this will be a night that no doubt exceeded expectations. For the new coming into the fold, it no doubt ensured strong word of mouth for many more sold-out shows to come.
