Following three triumphant sold-out shows at London’s iconic Hammersmith Apollo last year, The Teskey Brothers have announced the release of their new album Live At The Hammersmith Apollo - out Friday July 11, and available to pre-order now. The live album is an immersive extension of the band’s rich and beloved catalogue, featuring songs from their #1 ARIA Charting third album, The Winding Way, and for the first time on vinyl/CD, one of the band’s early hits, ‘Forever You and Me’.
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.
