ACL 2024: Teddy Swims

Saturday at 4:10pm.  Caamp has been moved to this slot.  Let's see what this guy is about. According to Wikipedia:

Jaten Collin Dimsdale (born September 25, 1992), also known pseudonymously as Teddy Swims, is an American singer-songwriter whose music blends genres including R&B, soul, country, and pop...Swims grew up in Conyers, Georgia. His father introduced him to soul music at an early age by way of artists like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Al Green...He adopted the stage name “Swims” from internet forum-speak, making an acronym for Someone Who Isn’t Me Sometimes — it was a way to perform in character if needed.

He has opened for Zac Brown, Greta Van Fleet, and Aerosmith. 

He has songs with Thomas Rhett ("Broke") and Maren Morris ("Some Things I'll Never Know"), 

"The Door" is good.

This is his breakout hit. His voice reminds me of the Red Clay Strays.

Kind of leaning towards CAAMP.
