After dedicating his life to music as a kid, Teddy Swims—a.k.a. Atlanta native Jaten Dimsdale—unassumingly knocked on the door of stardom and claimed the payoff of a decades-long grind in 2019. Broadcasting covers from a bedroom studio, he lit up the Internet with hundreds of millions of views and a following of over 4 million. That was just the first step, though. Teddy fashioned a show-stopping signature style out of soaring soul, intimate R&B, rock energy and hip-hop swagger all uplifted by his earthquaking vocals. Leaving tastemakers such as American Songwriter, Billboard, Flaunt and Idolator and idols like Shania Twain speechless, Rolling Stone christened him a 2021 "Artist To Watch.” During this time, he went from singing covers of his favorite artists on YouTube to performing his own original music The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  

Teddy continues to spread his wings, unveiling his 2021 debut graphic novel, Teddy Swims: Swimmy and the Valley of the Last Song [Z2 Comics] and hitting the road with GRAMMY® Award-winning Zac Brown Band for a series of stadium gigs. In between, he released his 2021 debut EP Unlearning to critical acclaim. However, he only picks up the pace with the Tough Love EP in 2022 supported by his massive “Tough Love” World Tour.

Samara Cyn has quickly deviated herself from the average up-and-comer with her magnetic energy and live performances. Originally from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Cyn found her passion for music in Phoenix while attending Arizona State University. Now, after graduating in May 2021, she performs, records and writes music across the city.  She has shown incredible potential and growth in just a few years, best showcased by her neo-soul style on her recent EP “Vol.1 Tape2”. She has performed in several notable venues in Arizona, including Crescent Ballroom, Valley Bar (Downtown Phoenix), Arizona State University, Aura (Tempe), Solar Culture (Tucson) and more. Cyn aims to inspire and entertain her audience through lyrical storytelling and wordplay on classic styles with a modern spin.

The Coca-Cola Sun Deck is an outdoor music venue located on the north end of Sun Devil Stadium off or E Rio Salado Parkway.
