“A blues-rock revival with a bite….on White Wolf, Teskey doesn’t just pay homage to the blues; they sharpen its fangs. Every track is a testament to their growth, their grit, and their unshakable love for the genre.”
Arizona blues-rockers Teskey release their debut full-length album White Wolf on Friday, May 30, 2025. In the spirit of the late 60’s/early 70’s British blues rock records, White Wolf fuses elements of traditional blues, psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, delta blues and alternative rock. Recorded at Mind’s Eye Studio, in Phoenix, the hard-hitting performances capture the raw energy and power of a live show and the refined sound quality of a modern record.
“It dawned on me that many of my favorite records, such as Led Zeppelin I, Jimi Hendrix’s Are You Experienced, Cream’s Disraeli Gears, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble’s Texas Flood, The Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and all the early Delta and Chicago Blues albums were all recorded live in the studio with limited tracks,” says Brandon Teskey, the group’s guitarist, lead vocalist and co-founder.
“Those albums seemed to have a raw energy. They left their mistakes in, or used them to their advantage. Instead of using recording techniques of layering each individual instrument to a click track, that often can turn out sterile in the end, they used their cohesiveness as a group, and the musicianship of the band to carry the performances. I wanted to make an album like that.”
Teskey formed when blues guitarist Brandon Teskey (formally of Until the Sun) and drummer Brandon Gaddy joined forces in 2024 shortly before bassist Matt Baldwin and keyboardist, Peter Murphy joined. The band spent the better part of a year writing and rehearsing before going into the studio to record White Wolf. The songs on the album encompass a wide range of topics, including past heartbreak, depression, love, redemption, the duplicity of human nature and Brandon Teskey’s wife’s year-long battle and recovery from cancer.
“Brandon Teskey’s skillful and emotive guitar work does an excellent job of alternating between rousing rock riffs and slow, moving blues solos,” wrote Blues Blast magazine in a review of an album from his previous band project, Until The Sun. “Guitarist Brandon Teskey plays some exquisite solos,” opined Music-news.com.
“From the opening growl of the title track “White Wolf”, Teskey makes their mission clear— this is no tame journey. It’s a howl in the night, gritty and primal, with guitar work that feels both feral and finessed,” writes Yeti Radio. “The vocals? Smoky, soulful, and weathered just right—like they’ve been baptized in heartbreak and desert heat. Few modern acts channel the soul and storm of classic blues-rock quite like Teskey.”
Teskey, a rocking blues band, was formed in 2024. Their music includes and often fuses elements of Blues, Alt Rock, Pink-Floyd-esque Psychedelia, and Jazz. Teskey quickly began playing national shows and opening for famous blues and rock artists, while performing at world- renowned venues. The band includes Brandon Teskey on guitar and vocals, Matt Baldwin on Bass, Peter Murphy on Keyboard, and Brandon Gaddy on drums. In 2024 they released two singles, ‘Under the Sun’ and ‘Upside Down World’. In May of 2025 they released their debut album, White Wolf.
