The Teskey Brothers' 'Live At The Hammersmith Apollo' Is Out Now

In celebration of three triumphant sold-out shows at London's iconic Hammersmith Apollo last year, The Teskey Brothers release new album Live At The Hammersmith Apollo – out on digital, CD & vinyl today. The release comes off the back of the band's biggest single headline show to date in London last night at Alexandra Palace, playing to 10,000+ fans to mark the final chapter of a world-conquering, two-year-long tour in support of their acclaimed #1 ARIA-charting album The Winding Way. Live At The Hammersmith Apollo is an immersive extension of the band's rich and beloved catalogue, featuring songs from, The Winding Way, a powerful cover of Otis Redding's 'Try A Little Tenderness' and for the first time on vinyl/CD, one of the band's early hits, 'Forever You and Me'. 'We always love recording to tape and we wanted to make this live album special, so we wheeled a big old tape machine into the Apollo for three nights. The sound is exactly what we wanted: a warm, lively snapshot of some very fun shows in London.' – Josh Teskey In keeping with the band's love for analogue, Live At The Hammersmith Apollo was recorded entirely to tape, just as live albums by Bruce Springsteen ('75), David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust '73) and countless others would have been recorded in the same room. London-based producer/engineer Declan Gaffney was tapped to handle the technical side, having previously engineered and mixed live albums for U2 and The Rolling Stones. Gaffney set up a makeshift studio behind the stage curtain where the tape rolled through a StuderA80 borrowed from the famous Metropolis Studios just down the road. Nostalgia aside, the record is above all an ode to the brothers' famed chemistry and dynamics onstage, bolstered by band members Olaf Scott (keys), Fabian Hunter (bass), Audrey Powne (trumpet), Nick Lawrence (drums) and Lily Shaw (sax), who have all been touring with The Teskey Brothers since 2023. Live At The Hammersmith Apollo is The Teskey Brothers' sixth album. Most recent release The Winding Way debuted at #1 on the ARIA Chart, won Best Blues & Roots Album at the 2023 ARIA Awards and Best Record of 2023 at the Rolling Stone Awards. Following its release, the band played sold-out shows across the world and a prime set on The Other Stage (3pm Sunday) at Glastonbury in 2023. The Winding Way was the highly anticipated follow-up to Run HomeSlow - a colossal success by anyone's standards, reaching #2 on the ARIA charts, winning 3 ARIA Awards and saw Sam Teskey earn a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album - all watering the grass for sold-out headline tours across the world. More significantly, Run Home Slow fulfilled the promise of their highly acclaimed debut record, 2017's Half Mile Harvest, cementing The Teskey Brothers as a classy modern band with an appetite for classic soul and R&B music. Live At The Hammersmith Apollo is available now on limited edition red & white marble vinyl, CD & digital services. DIGITAL & CD TRACKLIST 1. Man Of The Universe 2. Oceans Of Emotions 3.
