The Black Keys
Eventim Apollo
The early days of 2025 were a dark time for Dan Auerbach. His father, Chuck Auerbach, had suffered a stroke the previous autumn, followed immediately by a diagnosis of esophageal cancer, and was staying in Dan's Nashville home, in rapid decline.
Patrick Carney, Dan's Black Keys bandmate and oldest, closest friend, knew without asking 'that it would be good for Dan to have something to do.'
That something, of course, was music. The duo invited guitarist Kenny Brown, bassist Eric Deaton and multi-instrumentalist Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) to Dan's Easy Eye Sound studio to crank up the amps and blow off some steam. The result, Dan says, is 'the most natural Black Keys record since the first one, when I would bring in songs that we only half knew and just play em.'
Peaches! is a visceral, intuitive ten-song collection that continues to expand the Black Keys' quarter-century-long interpretation of blues-based rock 'n' roll. In a similar fashion to the early albums of their career, everything here was recorded live in the same room, unrehearsed, in one or two takes, with few overdubs.
