Australian singer songwriter Matt Corby has been announced as special guest for the Teddy Swims 2025 Australia and New Zealand ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy’ tour.
Matt says, “I’m such a fan of Teddy. I first heard ‘Lose Control’ on the radio while driving from the airport to a show, was completely floored by his vocal chops and the soul in his sound. I’ve been hooked ever since. We first met at his Sydney show last year: Teddy came up, gave me a big hug, and told me he’d been listening to my music since high school, which just blew my mind. After his set, we hung out, talked music, and joked about starting a boy band one day. Being invited to join him on this run of shows is a real honour. I can’t wait!”
Matt Corby and Teddy Swims are a great match. Both Matt Corby and Teddy Swims are known for their extraordinary , rich, soulful, and emotionally vocal abilities. Corby’s voice carries a raw, gospel-tinged depth that mirrors the heartfelt delivery Teddy Swims brings to every performance. Their shared emphasis on vocal excellence creates a cohesive and powerful live music experience.
Teddy Swims blends soul, R&B, pop, and rock, while Matt Corby has explored a similarly diverse palette—moving from folk and indie-rock to neo-soul and psychedelic pop. Their eclecticism means audiences get a dynamic, genre-blurring concert that appeals to fans of timeless musicianship over trends.
Both artists are deeply emotive storytellers. Corby’s introspective lyrics and layered compositions resonate with the same sincerity that fans love in Teddy Swims’ confessional style. Together, they offer a tour rooted in vulnerability, connection, and powerful live performances.
Matt Corby is renowned for his commanding live shows, often involving lush instrumentation and improvisation. Pairing that with Teddy Swims’ magnetic stage presence and charisma creates a lineup that feels organic and complimentary—more like a collaboration than a warm-up and headliner.
Their audiences overlap significantly: people who appreciate authenticity, top-tier musicianship, and soul-infused vocals. Corby’s inclusion brings a local hero energy (especially in Australia) that boosts attendance and gives fans a double bill of artists who speak the same musical language.
