B96’S OCTOBER ARTIST OF THE MONTH

TEDDY SWIMS

October 30 • Dickies Arena • Fort Worth

For October, B96 is putting the spotlight on Teddy Swims.

He’s one of those artists who doesn’t sit neatly inside a single lane. Pop, soul and R&B all run through his music, while records like “Lose Control,” “The Door” and “Bad Dreams” turned him into a familiar voice on pop radio.

Now he’s moving into another chapter with new music including “Mr. Know It All,” while his UGLY Tour moves into arenas this fall.

That makes the timing particularly good for North Texas: Teddy Swims brings the tour to Dickies Arena in Fort Worth on Friday, October 30, with MarcLo.

**October 30 • 7 p.m. •
