The intimate location of the House of Blues in Anaheim could not contain the amount of energy given radiating off Teddy Swims Monday Night! Playing two nights at the House of Blues was not enough for the large crowd he brought in that first night. He packed the House with fans of all ages. I recently started listening to his music and watching his live performances on YouTube. I knew I had to see him live and be a part of that energy. He is in a class by himself with a fused style of R&B, Soul, Country and Pop!
Raiche Wright opened the show with a unique R&B style that sets her apart from the rest. She belted out a few of her hits like, “Drive,” “Complicated,” and “Pick A Side.” The crowd was in love with her and can only expect only great things in the future! She is destined to only go higher with each new album. Fun fact, who knew that Raiche and Teddy are dating!
Before Teddy took the stage, the house was packed with no room to move. We all knew what kind of show he would deliver, and he did not disappoint. Opening with his hit, “Goodbye’s Been Good to You” brought everyone into a frenzy. The energy and interaction he gives his audience only makes you love him more, no holds barred. It’s his amazing soulful vocals and stage presence captivates you to live in the moment and sing out loud! He followed with, “What More Can I Say” and “911,” both amazing tracks that kept the crowd wanting more. Teddy closed the show with his big hit “The Door” and with everyone singing along, you knew Teddy has made his mark in music as a genuine, down to earth songwriter and musician.
