The band's name originally came from a car. We were just having a blast playing music together." I think that was the most important part. "Out of the middle of nowhere, it worked really, really well, and we were having a good time with it," Isbell said. Looking back on the choices you made and the people you hurt." Things not going how you thought they would. The song, which he described as "a power ballad, but still midtempo, rock" is "about letting other people down. "We started jamming, and it just came together," Jordan said. The Jeffery Jordan Band changed after Jordan brought one of his new songs, "Young," to a rehearsal. Then I realized I don't have enough patience to be a teacher. "I was a music education major," Stewart said. He took three semesters at the University of Southern Mississippi. We used to listen to everything from Outkast to Sean Paul to early '80s rock and roll." Stewart was influenced by his brother, Jordan Stewart, who was in a Christian band, "He used to pick me up from school. Stewart, who was in the choir and took piano lessons when he was in high school, also was in The Jeffery Jordan Band. But I'd get out of rehearsals and I'd just go straight back to the rock music." He played a little bit of everything in high school, but, he said, "I loved playing percussion and orchestra stuff. Said Isbell, who had joined the band: "I started playing drums because we'd go to church and there was a drum set there so I'd bang on it." The most popular song the singer-songwriter band performed was "Simple Life," which Jordan described as "a traditional country song: rocking chair, a guitar, a tractor, a field, a truck." Rowell then moved to Jordan's next group, The Jeffery Jordan Band. I wanted to be in a fraternity and do sports management. I got a weird feeling like, 'I have to do this.' I was going to the University of Arkansas. There were all these incredible musicians. Remembering the funeral, he said, "I was sitting next to the singer from AC/DC - Brian Johnson.
But he wasn't serious about it.ĭunn died when Rowell was 16. "When I was 14, I figured out how cool my uncle was, so I started playing bass," Rowell said. Rowell, nephew of the late Stax bass player Donald "Duck" Dunn, was in Jordan's first band. And when I got to college, I was like, 'All right! There's a lot of other stuff happening.'" I wasn't really conscious of other kinds of music. "I came from a narrow-minded perspective of music. "I was raised with that lifestyle, I guess," he said. His self-titled first band was a country band. Jordan, 21, who sang and played piano in church, began writing songs in elementary school. They are 110 percent committed to pursuing excellence and have no intention of slowing down." "Having had all four members of The Band CAMINO in my music business classes, their recent success comes at no surprise to me," said U of M assistant professor of music Ben Yonas. The festival is produced entirely by University of Memphis students through the music department's record label, Blue Tom Records. The band, which also includes guitarist, pianist, synth player and vocalist Spencer Stewart, 23, will headline "This is Memphis" on Sunday at the Levitt Shell. It felt like we were supposed to be there." "I think that was the best show we ever played," said bass player Graham Rowell, 20. They parked lead singer/guitarist Jeffery Jordan's mom's van "next to Bastille's 18-wheeler." "It was surreal," said drummer/backup vocalist Andrew Isbell, 19. The Band CAMINO had been together for less than a year when the group was asked to play at last spring's Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival.
