You know Australians are really very talented and smart.....who would'a thought?

[@Güichidrums13]

Y con este GRUPO ya no se ni que decir ,que no suene peloteo pero ...LA OSTIA DE BUENOS ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡from Canary island 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴💯💯💯💯

[@shaydelindsey3120]

They have been around for a bit.. Paying their dues to the dirt!! 🎶💞🙏

[@debralogston4943]

Oh me too I'm thrilled at 7 am in Kentucky.

[@debralogston4943]

Probably not much if count these men out of. Lol im betting they are fine as wine. Js

That SOUL knows no racial bounds.... that's pure Heart

[@CloudsOnTheSun]

Grateful to have found these fellas. Every previous soulful singer and guitarist up from the grave. Teskey Brothers are blessed.

[@brigittekenny6599]

Yes I’m still listening to in 2024 ,and I’ll be listening to for a long time yet.👍🇦🇺

[@kathydbrumfieldb8753]

I just have one question. Why we don't have these guys all over the MUSIC AWARDS?? Tab Benoit is another man who should be everywhere!!!! This is REAL MUSIC!! Be still my little heart!

[@BRANCHWYNN]

JJ Grey and the Mofro Lukas Nelson and the promise of the real Jason Boland and the Stragglers TAB BENOIT (SEEN HIM LIVE 6 XS If ya have the chance dont miss going to see him) Lake Street Dive St Paul and The Broken Bones Many of these artists dont want to be "discovered". In that way. Its what keeps me listening to good music as i seek it out. For some reason it comes into play that the music and soul of it are not as corrupt in some way. Much like Woodie Guthrie and John Prine. There is something just more pure about the music. Like a treasure you share with just a few.

[@big-un9425]

Tab is the man

[@corals4508]

Awards and awards shows are not needed to those that really just love the music. I myself think awards are a joke.

[@kelljA]

Because awards shows aren't about musical talent...

[@CaptainIrish]

Or at halftime shows. It’s always some terrible rap pop artist

[@dorseyherring5751]

Otis was reborn in australia with blue eyes and blonde hair!! I know it's 2021 and we're wearing masks but it's good to hear something that reminds us of yesterday but more importantly keeping music from a bygone era alive.

[@rosiboyadzhieva5242]

So true!!!😁😃😌

[@rosehudson8249]

Oh, yesssss!

[@gabybernard4396]

Yeah true ❣🎼👍🏻

Anyone who thumbs this down doesn't know great music, feel it , absorb it and you will have soul.

[@daksdeperro1489]

If they thumb down this music, it's because they have no soul

No bs I'm crying it's so good. Honestly this is 10/10 music blessings

[@nevillepluck7605]

Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and Wilson Pickett all wraped up. These guys are simply what soul is all about!!! Love you guys. Come to Germany guys.

[@ddesign63]

neville pluck ..., my same thoughts. Chris Stapleton and Markus King also. Thank God for these artist. Good Lawd!

[@aajs669]

neville pluck Yes ! Otis was the artist I thought of too 🤙🏽

[@nevillepluck7605]

Thanks for commenting guys. Just like to mention dream came true. These guys came to Cologne and I outlived my expectations. In one word? Awesome. It was breathtakingly pure soul STAX music, uncut and beautiful. A moment I will never forget!! Sooo happy to have seen these guys and cannot wait for their return. Since my last comment, a lot has happened. Stay safe, stay in and listen to the Teskey Brothers ;-)

That comes from the soul, smooth

[@vankuipland]

December 10 1967 was a very sad day, we lost the great Otis Redding ( I was 19 ). I listen to his music often and it brings back sweet memories . I never thought I would here that sweet sound ever again but yesterday a group of us oldies had a garage sale and someone played a CD of this band , we were all spellbound. We all remember when music was MUSIC and these guys are good !!!!! The lead singer has this Otis Redding sound, I am hooked and I will buy their CD ‘S and spread the word about this blessing. Another great band from our Australian neighbours !

[@constancejackson9414]

Thank God SOUL is alive and well in TESKEY Brothers and Teddy Swims. Soul has no racial bounds. Its HEARTFELT. These guys got SOUL.

[@joannefernie8982]

My son introduced me to the Teskey Bros and after listening to Crying Shame, I am hooked. Their music is soulful, country, hypnotic and above all chilling. As soon as they tour the UK, I'll be there. Love them. ♥️♥️♥️

[@TheVinylMix]

I listen to a lot of music & only just found them tonight Joanne (year on from this comment)...already becoming a fan.....music for the soul!

[@snafu_uk]

[@brotherjohnnyjones693]

12/24 for me!

[@RachelleBlackmon]

This group and the lead singer just blows my mind!!

[@beachnorigional9793]

You guys have an amazing sound.. My hubby use to be a musician and played the sax in a soul band. They played Otis Redding , Wilson Picket and many many other artist songs. I so wish I had recorded them back them. Your sound takes me right back there and you have no idea how much I appreciate that. Hubby is 82 now and has lost his chops even though he still has his sax. He has a naked Lady Barry in the closet that needs a bit of work. If I can ever get it fixed it would be very valuable. Hubby has Alzheimer's and stage 4 lung cancer. We have been married 53 years. I so miss those days of fantastic music. Thank you once again.

[@larrysorenson4789]

Love you. Don’t forget.

[@lisahall1989]

What sweet memories. ❤

"Hold me" seems to be the theme song I've needed all my life. Im 63 years old and somebody's always tried to hold me down,but never let me fly! Thank you, it's been a inspiration.

I've been listening to The Teskey Brothers for a while, fantastic, great music and on point vocals couple with a great tone. I had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks in Perth, Australia around 5 years ago. visiting my wife's cousin's family who emigrated there a few years previously. Oh my! I'd move there in a heartbeat but sadly too old although I could get a work visa. If you ever have an opportunity to holiday, work or move there, take it. I found it beautiful, everyone was super friendly and kind. Hope to visit again before my last breath whenever that is :)

[@mainman6415]

I've only been listening to this band for this week and I like them a lot. It's genuine and you can tell they have fun with their music. I listen to their songs every day now and can't listen to them enough 👏👏👏
