![]() ![]() This is quite possibly the quickest I have ever seen a crowd sing every single word to a song in unison this early in a show. The Band CAMINO’s fans, made up mostly of teenagers and college-aged young adults, are a different breed. Jordan started singing fan-favorite “Know It All” from the band’s self-titled second studio album, The Band CAMINO. ![]() The band’s members- Jeffery Jordan (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Spencer Stewart (vocals, guitar), Garrison Burgess (drums), and Reagan Renfrow (their stand-in bassist)-poured out on stage to their respective spots. The Band CAMINO’s entrance was theatrical, with lights of strawberry red, fuchsia pink, lemon yellow, and aqua blue shining down on an empty stage to the beat of a Western tune (yes, you read that right and it was just as iconic as you could imagine). The Band CAMINO are back like they’d never left The band then performed their final three songs: the hopeful “Restless Soul,” “hold on”-where the instruments were the star and Bould absolutely bodied the bass, and closed out their setlist with “warm blood.” In comparison to Hastings and The Band CAMINO, flor was a lot softer but they highlighted their talent and delivered an uplifting performance. This is when I fell in love with his range. There were moments during the course of this song, especially in the middle, where Grace would scream-sing notes mirroring rock legend and Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury. They slipped into another new track in “Skate,” a drippy, psychedelic song that placed Grace’s high-pitched, gritty, one-of-a-kind vocals on a pedestal. The group then reverted back to their softer songs with “back again.” Grace crooned about the feeling of longing for loved ones that was painted over a haunting melody. They played another recently released track, the fast-paced “Big Shot,” which had robust drums that rocked the crowd without fail-major shoutout to Hill. On the surface, the song serves as a reminder to enjoy every moment, but it unpacks the habits we all develop and yearns that everyone should try to live their best, most authentic life. The band transitioned into the lighthearted and bouncy “dancing around.” Kitts and Bauld shared a precious moment together where they made eye contact and played across the stage from one another behind Grace. Zach Grace, of flor, plays keyboard and sings while performing at the Old National Center, Indianapolis, IN, on Thursday, March 24, 2022. There’s no doubt that he will be one of the largest artists in the next five years if he continues at the rate he’s going. Hastings gave a spotless performance proving that he is one of the best young artists in the music industry today. He and his guitarist, Val Hoyt, had off-the-charts chemistry throughout his entire setlist, especially as Hastings made his way over to shred together. His guitar reappeared for it, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled that it did. ![]() Hastings closed out his setlist with “Blank Me,” which also happened to be the best song he performed that evening. I’m assuming this was due to his nerves, along with being such a small artist, but the crowd understood who he was after the first couple of announcements. The only minor complaint was after every song he kept announcing who he was. ![]() He flawlessly hit every single note in these tracks and the crowd was feeding into it. If you’ve ever seen an artist sing so passionately that you can see a vein pop out of their neck, that’s Hastings. The next few songs included heavy rock-infused “Take Mine," the funky bass-driven “Hurt My Feelings,” and the cheeky “Asking For a Friend” and Hastings poured his heart and soul into all of them. He seemed to have found his groove as he loosened up a bit and busted some top-tier moves on stage. He ditched his guitar and relied solely on his vocals for this track-and he absolutely soared. Following this, he performed his 2021 debut single, “Hearts Not In It,” which shot to instant acclaim at the time of its release and is included, along with “Chapstick,” on his debut EP Hastings. ![]()
