We made 2ND PLACE at Shoals City Showdown! And we did as we promised- we gave them a SHOW. So proud of us. Congratulations to @theburneysisters for taking 1st place, @kevinpadronn for taking 3rd, and so much respect to

@marissalunaofficial & Thad Saajid! We're receiving some great prizes for our placing and it's all for what's next in the world of Camacho. Thanks for supporting in all this. So much more to come- and thanks a ton @austinbrent for rocking with us on this night.

From @shoalscityshowdown on Instagram:

After listening to our Round 3 Submissions, @tieramusic and @carvercommodore chose Camacho as their "Judge's Pick" for the Artistry Round.

As the winners, @camacho.band has won a photoshoot with the ever so talented Lily Martin and a $200 gift card to Counts Brothers Music.

Huge thanks to everyone involved up to this point! It obviously takes a village and we're so very thankful to be a part of this one:)

Holy crap. We worked hard on our Bad Romance cover and had a lot of fun making it - but we never expected this! Thank you so much to the judges for this recognition - it is an honor! And thank you especially to our friends and fans for your support. We love you guys so much.

Catch us at the finale in Muscle Shoals on October 12th at the Vivian Theatre. We couldn’t have gotten there without you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for getting us this far. We feel so loved from the outpour of support. Together, Camacho voters raised over $1,200 for the Shoals Dream Center - an organization that fed over 20,000 people in need just the last year alone.

We’ve made it to Round 3, and have one more round of voting before the live finale at the Vivian Theatre in Muscle Shoals!
But we aren’t there yet - you have until Friday to vote for us again at shoalscityshowdown.org.

Thank you so much again to everyone who voted for us in the last round, and everyone who has voted in Round 3 so far. It means the world to us.

We chose the pop classic "Bad Romance" from one of my personal all-time heroes, Lady Gaga. As a band, we've been shaped by our collective tastes spanning all genres, so it took diving deep into our hearts to choose what song would be best.

Gaga has inspired me throughout my life and I appreciate the road she's paved for modern music; The current pop culture landscape would be much more bland if she hadn't stepped in. When she did, every artist was forced to pay attention - not only for her brilliance, but she used her inspirations to revive abstract and glam art within pop and added a whole new dimension to artistry. She's the queen.

Our rendition of "Bad Romance" took form in our storage-unit-turned-practice-space. We put our hearts into this and tried to give back as much energy as Gaga has given us

Round 2 has begun. VOTE NOW FOR CAMACHO FOR SHOALS CITY SHOWDOWN HERE! https://www.shoalscityshowdown.org/vote#voting1
For round 2, we chose to cover ‘Gotta Serve Somebody’ from Dylan’s 1979 album Slow Train Coming for its message, history, and the love for the one and only Bob Dylan.

It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound, and I used to make the hour drive there from my hometown of Decatur just to imagine my hero Dylan walking in and out of that studio. As an artist, I draw a lot of inspiration from that record and the immeasurable greatness that came out of that building. In the era Dylan spent in Muscle Shoals, he was completely reenergized by new-found faith. The song has a simple message - in this life, no matter what you do or who you are: you answer to something greater than yourself. The way this message is painted through the song exemplifies what made his songwriting so influential, both lyrically and sonically.

To each individual that takes one minute just to vote for us: it truly means a lot to 5 guys doing their best to live their dreams and entertain you. Deadline is Friday Night so vote now!
