On the tour of “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy”, Teddy Swims achieved a career milestone by playing a sold-out show. The location of Red Rocks Amphitheatre makes the moment more legendary. While the performance itself was a dream come true for Teddy, the concert’s most memorable moment involved a promise kept to a special guest: Rodney Hampton. His best friend’s father.
After the show, Swims mentioned that he cried “nothing but happy tears” for two days. Rodney Hampton holds a crucial role in Swims’ history, as he was the person who originally inspired the singer to pursue music. For Swims, sharing the iconic stage with Rodney felt more rewarding than any professional event.

The raw emotion of the performance was deeply felt by the audience. Fans said that his success and journey give them “chills.” One fan connected the performance to their own father, who used to sing the song. Many fans commented on his humble personality, and some on his voice.
The song at the heart of this duet was the cover “A Cowboy’s Work Is Never Done.” The performance honored a promise Swims and Rodney had made years ago. Jesse, Rondey’s son, played guitar, making the moment feel more personal and meaningful.
