The band came to be from seeking blues and roots of the greats from an early age when exposed to musicians such as Peter Green, Otis Redding and Ray Charles. The boys would watch closely in awe as their teacher, Sam Linton Smith, performed at St. Andrews pub on a Sunday, the very same St. Andrews in which Josh and Sam Teskey set up to busk as boys. Thus began the musical convergence of Warrandyte Blues-Soul and everything in between. And when brought to Melbourne CBD, people actually move to live music – a phenomenon that’s camera worthy.
Josh Teskey fronts the band with his smooth vocals and rhythm guitar. Evocative of Donny Hathaway, Teskey reaches out to play with his audience, ushering them through the emotional room of each song’s mind with airs of love, ardor and desire; creating an atmosphere you thought you were born too late to ever experience.
Joined by Sam Teskey on lead guitar and backing vocals, these brothers will have you rocking from side to side until you’re dancing, and then giggling at the absolute sublimity of the moment. Teskey will have you pink cheeked and stress free with his flirtatious solos and flattering, fatherly tones.
Along with the Teskeys, you’ll find the unflustered Brendon Love on bass. His instinctive and cool, calm and collected nature is what drives the hips of the audience and transports the energy in and out of high spirit to deep soul. Love is love, and love is bass.
Liam Gough completes the ensemble with his metronomic technique and veteran beat keeping. Gough’s talent effectuates the amalgamation of funk and blues, inspiring the music itself by teasing the fluidity with his heartfelt punctilious pulse. This drummer might as well be the only drummer you know.
Through gifts bestowed upon the family (and farm-ily) band, such as; BB King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye, they share with us city dwellers dynamics within a live sound that only clean country air and years of diverse varieties of live gigging can provide, and I’m not just saying that because I’m wearing overalls and ate my chicken.
The Teskey Brothers are an important affirmation of something we have always loved and something we hope to never loose – Home, Rhythm, and Blues.
Reason Why
The teskey brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu amo essa mulher, mas eu não posso te dizer a razão pela qual
As coisas que ela fez comigo, às vezes me faz querer deitar e morrer
Eu sei o que é machucar, eu tenho visto um pouco de dor e miséria
Eu sei o que é machucar, eu tenho visto um pouco de dor e miséria
Mas essas coisas não são nada,
Não para essas coisas que você fez para mim
Sim, eu amo essa mulher, mas eu não poderia te dizer a razão pela qual
Eu amo essa mulher, e eu não posso te dizer a razão pela qual
Se eu não posso fazer você me amar, não é porque eu não tentei
The Teskey Brothers' "Reason Why" is a bluesy, soulful ballad about the inexplicable nature of love. The opening lines, sung in Portuguese by lead singer Josh Teskey, translate to "I love my baby, but I can't tell you the reason why. I love this woman, but I can't tell you the reason why." The lyrics express the idea that love is a mysterious force that cannot always be explained or rationalized. The singer acknowledges that his lover has done things to hurt him, but he remains devoted to her despite the pain.
The second verse expands on this theme of pain and hardship, with the singer proclaiming that he has experienced his fair share of suffering. However, he notes that the hurt caused by his lover's actions is different and more intense than anything else he has endured. This adds to the sense of mystery and paradox surrounding the song's central theme - the fact that love can inspire both joy and pain, often simultaneously.
Overall, "Reason Why" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human emotion and the enigmatic nature of love. The Teskey Brothers' haunting, soulful vocals and bluesy instrumentation only add to the emotional depth and intensity of the track.

I love my baby, but I can't explain why
Eu amo essa mulher, mas eu não posso te dizer a razão pela qual

Eu sei o que é machucar, eu tenho visto um pouco de dor e miséria
I know what it's like to hurt, I've seen a bit of pain and misery
Mas essas coisas não são nada,

Not compared to the things you've done to me

If I can't make you love me, it's not because I haven't tried

This song reminds me so much of something straight out of Stevie Ray Vaughn's or the Allman Brother's catalog. Absolutely amazing stuff.
