Superstar singer Swims surprises fans in beer garden at Valley venue
By Alex Condon
US singer Teddy Swims, who recently performed at the NRL grand final and is touring the country, was a surprise special guest at the Triffid’s weekly Sunday beer garden show.
The soul singer was joined by Inoxia – who went viral singing a duet with Swims in Queen Street Mall in July last year – as well as Budjerah and Pace Randolph for his Ted & Friends pop-up show at the Newstead venue, featuring intimate versions of his big hits including Lose Control and Bad Dreams.
Hundreds of fans rocked up for the daytime set, which raised money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation through a raffle to win a signed guitar.
Swims backed up his Saturday-night show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with the Triffid set, before returning to Boondall for his second concert of the tour. He next heads to Melbourne for three shows at Rod Laver Arena, then onto Adelaide and Perth.
