Teddy Robb & Friends with Shane McAnally & Matt McGinn

Teddy Robb, one of our Swag Spotlight’s hosted his last intimate evening of the year with fellow songwriters Shane McAnally and Matt McGinn at the Douglas Cafe in Nashville, TN last night. Gathering more fans, friends, and family than ever, Robb kicked off a great night of music. He sang a new, unreleased song “Drink Around You” and we got another look into his EP which is slated for release in the new year.

The name Shane McAnally speaks for itself, as he has nearly 40 #1 songs and over 100 album/single cuts. Singing huge hits including “American Kids” cut by Kenny Chesney, “Drinking Problem” by Midland, and “Body Like A Backroad” by Sam Hunt, each time it was McAnally’s turn, we were excited to see which song he would play next.

Matt McGinn, a name you may not recognize but whose songs are blowing up the charts. Having two #1 songs this past year, “Heaven” and “Homesick” by Kane Brown, he is proving to be quite the gifted writer. On top of playing his new hit singles, McGinn played a personal song that is unreleased. “7,500 or Best Offer”, tells the story of wanting to sell a pickup truck because all it does is bring back memories and the nostalgia of a past relationship. This song takes a new approach to a breakup song, and we are loving it.

Robb, of course, stunned the crowd with previews of songs coming off of his debut EP which we are not so patiently waiting to hear! Favorites including “Tell Me How” and “Lead Me On” had everyone videoing so they can go back and rewatch.  Head to our Instagram Stories to check out both songs.

In between songs, McAnally talked about how far Robb has come within the last year and the songs he has been able to write. “Teddy’s voice connects and has a place,” McAnally says, as Robb has been gaining fans left and right. Then to everyone’s surprise, including Robb’s, McAnally states, “How a part of the family you feel to us, we really want to make that official and turn this into a full-fledged deal.” Teddy Robb is the newest singer/songwriter with Monument Records after getting a record deal last night and we could not be more happy for him. The sweet moment between McAnally and Robb was captured on Instagram here. Look out for Teddy Robb’s debut EP coming soon and in the meantime check out our highlights from two other events he played at here and here.
