Michael d'addario age

The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs not only draw their musical inspiration from classic power-pop; they’ve also learned to record using authentic ’70s gear and techniques.

The Lemon Twigs are brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario from Long Island, New York. Though respectively only 18 and 20 years old, they have already released two highly acclaimed albums inspired by a shared love of 1970s power pop. Following on from their 2016 debut Do Hollywood, this year’s Go To School is a highly ambitious, 16-song double album ‘musical’ featuring cameos from Todd Rundgren and onetime Big Star drummer Jody Stephens.

The plotline of Go To School is purposely daft. A couple, Bill and Carol, adopt a chimpanzee named Shane and raise him as a human until — spoiler alert! — he ends up burning down his high school by the close of the album. If, as a concept, it’s cartoonish, then the hugely accomplished songs and elaborate, strings-and-brass-supported productions blow away any whiff of novelty. All the more impressive is the fact that the brothers produced the album themselves, working entirely in t

Brian is a native of Long Island New York. He debuted on Broadway in the role of Gavroche in the 2006 revival of Les Miserables and originated the role of Flounder in the Broadway production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. (Brian can be heard on the original Broadway cast album of The Little Mermaid.) Brian's greatest passion is for rock & roll. He is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, and arranger. He often collaborates with his brother, Michael D'Addario, who is also a musician/actor. The brothers started a band at the ages of 6 and 8, and have been performing music ever since. They formed the alternative rock group "The Lemon Twigs" in 2014. After signing with independent label 4AD, "The Lemon Twigs" released their debut album, "Do Hollywood" in October 2016. They toured in the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan and released an EP ("Brothers of Destruction") in September 2017. Their second album, "Go to School," came in early in 2017 and #3, "Songs for the General Public," in 2020. A fourth

Meet the Lemon Twigs, the New York teens who went from Les Mis to glam powerpop

It’s lunchtime and the Lemon Twigs – brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario, 17 and 19 respectively – have just got up: someone from their record company had to go and wake them in order to bring them to the interview. They are bleary-eyed, and barely dressed, at least compared to the way they appear in photographs – they’re not wearing anything made of satin and there’s no hint of makeup – but, it has to be said, they still look pretty remarkable. Michael has turned up resplendent in a pair of half-mast flared jeans and a tight, midriff-baring T-shirt, his hair in the kind of lavishly be-mulletted feather cut that Rod Stewart used to sport when he was still in the Faces. That’s quite a look you’ve got there, I say.

He frowns: “It’s just jeans and a T-shirt.”

Oh, come off it, you look like one of the Bay City Rollers. No one turns up to an interview in 2016 dressed like one of the Bay City Rollers by accident.

“We could wear sweatpants and stuff, but it wouldn’t be as exciting, I don’t think,” Mich
