The Teskey Brothers – Live At The Hammersmith Apollo (Pink Vinyl)

Live At The Hammersmith Apollo captures The Teskey Brothers in full live bloom, recorded over three sold-out nights at London’s famous Hammersmith Apollo as part of their 2023 tour. The set spans ten tracks, including selections from their ARIA #1 album The Winding Way, earlier gems like Forever You and Me, and a soulful cover of Otis Redding’s Try a Little Tenderness. True to their roots, the performances were analogue-recorded to tape, lending warmth, immediacy, and authenticity to the live dynamics. Backed by a full touring band with horns, keys, and harmonies, the brothers expand beyond the studio versions with extended solos, impassioned vocals, and strong audience connection.

What shines most is the group’s chemistry onstage. Josh Teskey’s voice takes on deeper textures in this live setting, soaring into scat, growls, and preacher-style cadences, while Sam Teskey’s guitar lines breathe with improvisational flair. The recording balances intensity with intimacy: songs like What Will Be and Paint My Heart explode with raw energy, while Carry Me Home and Oceans of Emotions offer more reflective, soulful moments. The result is a powerful document of the Teskey Brothers’ live magic—emotional, technically impressive, and full of spirit.
