The Teskey Brothers are an Australian blues rock band from Melbourne, named after the two brothers who formed the group in 2008: Josh Teskey (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Sam Teskey (lead guitar).[6] In 2019 they signed with Glassnote Records and Ivy League Records. They have released three albums: Half Mile Harvest (2017), Run Home Slow (2019) and The Winding Way (2023). At the 2019 ARIA Music Awards, The Teskey Brothers were nominated for seven awards.[7] They won three categories for the album, Run Home Slow, Best Group, Best Blues and Roots Album and Engineer of the Year (Sam Teskey).[8]

Career

The band was formed in 2008 by two brothers, Josh Teskey (vocals) and Sam Teskey (guitar), along with Brendon Love (bass) and Liam Gough (drums). They started by playing in the streets and at parties, then playing larger venues. They were soon attracting attention from record labels. The band began to experience success in 2017.[9][6] On 12 January 2017, The Teskey Brothers released their debut album, Half Mile Harvest, which was produced in their home studio.[5][1] Half Mile Harvest was in the Top 20 of the ARIA charts and eventually became number one on the ARIA Independent Album charts.[1]

In 2018, they signed a deal with Downtown Music Publishing.[3] In 2019, the band signed with Glassnote Records,[10] Ivy League Records,[1] and Mushroom Music Publishing.[2] In July 2019 won the Levi Music Prize; a prize to financially assist Australian and New Zealand acts to achieve their export goals.[11][12] The band contributed seven songs for the 2019 Palm Beach soundtrack which was released in July 2019. On 2 August 2019, The Teskey Brothers released their second studio album, Run Home Slow which debuted at number 2 on the ARIA Charts. The album won Engineer of the Year for Sam at the ARIA Music Awards of 2019.[13] The album also won the ARIA Award for Best Group and Best Blues and Roots album.[14] In 2022, "Carry You", a song from the album, was certified Gold by ARIA.[15]
