Tennessee three-piece electropop rock band The Band Camino returned to Columbus for an upbeat headline show at KEMBA Live! on Thursday evening.
As one of the standout performances at last year’s Wonderbus, Columbus fans were once again treated to large hooks and larger smiles as singer/guitarists Jeffery Jordan and Spencer Stewart led the crowd through a near constant sing-along and jump-around set, while drummer Garrison Burgess laid down the beats from the back.
The Band Camino are still out touring their self-titled 2021 release, while breakout radio hit “1 Last Cigarette” can still be occasionally heard on the local airwaves.
Renforshort and the highly entertaining Games We Play opened the show and rewarded those that showed up early as both acts put out attention-grabbing sets that almost stole the show from the headline act.
