Teezo Touchdown Captivates with his First Solo Show in Austin
On May 31st, I embarked a 225 mile journey to a familiar venue, Emo’s. Despite having an early flight the next day back in Dallas, there was one reason I just had to make the drive; Teezo Touchdown was about to headline his first ever “Spend the Night Tour” in Austin.
Months prior I had attended Circus Maximus performed by Travis Scott. While Scott’s performance was impressive and definitely one to remember, Teezo Touchdown’s opening stood out to me as a true demonstration of what a promising upcoming performer looked like in the flesh. Teezo made it clear he was committed to become the very best he could be for his live performances. My first time seeing Teezo made me feel like I was witnessing history; He was becoming more comfortable with performing for a crowd and energizing them to enjoy the show, that of which I needed to follow up on.
While Teezo may not be mainstream yet, he brings a unique quality that serves as the key to what it takes to be mainstream. Teezo Touchdown creates a sentiment that being unapologetically yourself even in the face of discrimination reaps fulfilling rewards through consistency. Sitting at 32, Teezo felt at points in his career that he would become too old to succeed with his music, represented by the song “Impossible.” However, Teezo never gave up on working on himself, which eventually led him into the opportunities of working with the likes of Tyler, Chance the Rapper, and Travis Scott. Touchdown’s genre is hard to pinpoint as he is consistently creating unheard fusions of genres, flows, and sounds. With that being said, his jabs to show the world who he truly is has clearly paid off in his upbringing, just taking a little more time than we typically expect.
Although Teezo has been in the industry for a few years now, Teezo has a unique way of posing himself up to be the next big thing. At the concert, he reminds the crowd that even if you weren’t there since day one, your day one could begin that night. Teezo’s feeling of novelty has allowed him to reach a sweet spot in his career, as the audience he curates at “smaller” venues (as compared to stadium tours) is passionately excited to see something completely fresh. Walking us through his story starting in his small town of Beaumont, Tx, Teezo’s performance felt like seeing colors for the first time. Touchdown has this very apparent determination to reciprocate all the love and support he receives by giving the people a show that represents pure creativity; Thus, this show gave us one of the most excited and diverse audiences who maintained the energy throughout the very end of the show; all while wrapping up by 10:45 (an under appreciated trait to live shows!)
His love for Austin added to this sentiment, as the phrase “Keep Austin Weird” was something that spoke to him throughout his time growing up in Texas. I want to say at this point, Teezo has given me (twice) an unforgettable performance that has given me a glimpse into what Austin stood for decades ago, long before the sudden influx of population seemingly saturated the culture. I couldn’t help but compare this performance to what I imagine seeing Michael Jackson live felt like, as his truly captivating aesthetic and energy brought what felt like magic to all of us. I commend Teezo for reinforcing the values I am actively pursuing throughout my early career, that of which creativity, personality, gratitude, and connectedness reigns rule, ultimately illustrating the power of love through music.
