It was the pre-party, Lettuce was headlining, and Scamp was my first legit media gig. I still can still vividly remember that first Thursday night at Summer Camp. I was definitely super nervous going into this and had never interviewed anyone before. A few weeks later and i found myself at Summer Camp Music Festival with a media pass. In March of 2018, Chris hooked me up with a press pass for a Pink Talking Phish show and I got to write a write my first article. Every step of the way, Chris, Adam Berta, Rob Tichinel, and so many of my peers and family have been incredibly supportive of me really digging in. The first thing that comes to mind is how encouraging everyone around me has been the entire time I’ve worked with Weird Music. I honestly don’t know where to start with answering this question.
My experience with Weird Music has been pretty unbelievable. Tell me about how your experience has been with Weird Music and some of the artists you’ve worked with. When did you start working with Weird Music? This was my first taste of any sort of involvement in the music festival community, and I have learned a ton with, and from, Chris since that initial conversation 2 years ago. In our first conversation, I asked him if I could start helping out as an intern. Weird Music is a company in Columbus that has a recording studio, a media blog, and also puts on events. When did you start getting more involved within the community and what were some events or projects that you’ve worked with?Ībout a year after my first jam show I met Chris Salvato in the crowd of one of Weird Music’s shows. My love for my friends who I go to shows with, mixed with the over-the-top awesomeness of live performances is what keeps me coming back Its amazed me how strangers can become best friends without saying a word, just from dancing or playing music together. Music is a whole other language and to hear it spoken at live jam band shows is, to me, one of the most epic things in the world. Inside my mind I feel like there are a thousand different life lessons that are exemplified within jam band music. I love feeling the hunger and drive to crush it from the musicians on stage. I love feeling the energy in the crowd when everyone is locked in together in each moment as the jam unfolds. The thing that has inspired me most about the jam band community is the way musicians play live. What inspired you about the jam band and festival community and what kept you coming back? That one show opened up the entire world of music for me, and honestly, I feel very grateful and inspired to open this door for others, similarly to how Rob for opened this door for me. As I’m sure you can imagine, this show was beyond mind-blowing. At the time, my favorite artist was chance the rapper, and I had zero concept of what a jam band was, or really anything having to do with music festivals. Rob and I bonded over many mutual interests and he ended up taking me to see Aqueous play.
When I was a junior in college, my girlfriend at the time worked in a lab with someone who is very involved in the live painting scene – Rob Tichinel. I was actually just talking about this with someone this morning. When did you start getting into jam band music? What was your first festival/show? When I was 18 I moved to Columbus, Ohio and have been here ever since. I was born and raised in a city just outside of New York City - Stamford, Connecticut. Where are you from and where do you live now? We talked to Cam about what inspired him about the jam scene and caused his meteoric dive into the community.

His presence has suddenly and swiftly become part of the jam scene, having only found jam bands in 2018 and hitting the ground full force by getting involved with Weird Music in Columbus, OH, and getting as much live music in his life ever since.
You might have recently seen Cam Elkins at a festival near the front or in the photo pit with a huge smile on his face and swaying blissfully to the music.
