Brothers Osborne fans were anticipating the release of their Live at the Ryman album. The guys feel there’s just something special about playing at the famed venue.

This room, every time we play here, there’s just a special experience, a special memory every time, and it’s something that we don’t want to take for granted,” says the duo’s TJ Osborne. “And it’s cool that we had a three-night stint here and we were able to record that and have that out, especially with all the history that’s happened in this room. I just think of all the people that have been in these seats over the many years that this place has been here, and the people have been on that stage, and it’s right in our backyard now that we are Nashvillians. This place never loses its charm and its luster, and I hope it never does for me. It’s always a special, special spot.”

The album features the band’s Platinum-certified hits such as “Stay A Little Longer” and “It Ain’t My Fault,” as well as fan favorites like “Weed, Whiskey And Willie” and “Love The Lonely Out Of You.” Special album packages including unique merch items will be available at www.brothersosborne.com and members of The Family fan club will receive exclusive access to the album starting October 10th.

Transcript: Brothers Osborne (recording at The Ryman) OC: …special spot. :38

“The fact that we recorded at the Ryman, it really, it’s incredible in a lot of ways. This room, every time we play here, there’s just a special experience, a special memory every time and it’s something that we don’t want to take for granted. And it’s cool that we had a three-night stint here and we were able to record that and have that out, especially with all the history that’s happened in this room. I just think of all the people that have been in these seats over the many years that this place has been here, and the people have been on that stage, and it’s right in our backyard now that we are Nashvillians. This place never loses its charm and its luster, and I hope it never does for me. It’s always a special, special spot.”

The Maryland Natives reunited with Chris Stapleton on tour Thursday (October 3rd).

The guys are the reigning CMA Vocal Duo of the Year (for three consecutive years) and are once again nominated in the category. They also are nominated for Single and Music Video of the Year with Dierks Bentley for “Burning Man” and Musical Event of the Year with Maren Morris on “All My Favorite People.” The 53rd CMA Music Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena November 13th at 8pm ET on ABC.

ABOUT Brothers Osborne

Two sons from a working-class family, John and TJ Osborne grew up in a small, Maryland water town writing and playing songs for friends and family in their father’s shed. John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two years later, TJ joined him. It was then they formed Brothers Osborne as a twang-and-crunch duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years.

The singer/songwriter siblings recently won CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year” for the third year in a row in addition to “Music Video of the Year” for their Top 10, GRAMMY-nominated single “It Ain’t My Fault.” Brothers Osborne’s debut album PAWN SHOP was released January 2016 and was recently certified Gold by the RIAA. PAWN SHOP features three GRAMMY-nominated tracks including “It Ain’t My Fault”, the Platinum Certified No.1 smash hit “Stay A Little Longer” as well as Top 25 hit “21 Summer.”

Their first SELF-TITLED EP (EMI Records Nashvill) dropped on September 9, 2014 peaking at No.23 on Top Country Albums

It included a demo of "Stay a Little Longer", co-written by Shane McAnally and first featured on this EP, but was consequently recorded with Jay Joyce for the single release. The song peaked at No. 4 on Hot Country Songs & No.2 on Country Airplay Chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA on Dec 7, 2015 (US total sales 607,000 as of November 2016) and Platinum on Nov 8, 2016 for 1-million Digital units.

The Osborne siblings strummed their first chords during those jam sessions. From the very start, TJ Osborne was the brother with the voice. He sang in a thick, low baritone, crooning like Johnny Cash long before he was even old enough to drive. Older brother John, on the other hand, was the family’s guitar shredder, his fingers capable of down-home bluegrass licks, arena-worthy rock riffs, country twang, and everything in between. Combined, the two Osbornes could play everything from traditional country music to rock & roll, creating a broad, full-bodied sound that would eventually fill the 11 songs on their major-label debut, Pawn Shop.

Like its title suggests, PAWN SHOP (released Jan 15, 2016) offered a little bit of everything. The album peaked and arrived at No.3 on the Billboard’s Top Country Albums album and No. 17 on the all-genre Billboard 200, selling 21,000 copies in its debut  week. The album was certified Gold on November 16, 2017. It had shifted 234,300 copies in the US as of July 2019.

There’s bluesy slide guitar, country duets, southern rock solos, harmonies, and plenty of groove. The hooks are big, the guitars are loud, and the songs — every last one of them co-written by the Osbornes, who reached out to award-winning songwriters like Shane McAnally and Ross Copperman for help — introduce a duo whose music bridges the gap between the mainstream and the alternative world. Some songs were written at home in Nashville, while others came together on the road, where the guys spent several years headlining their own club shows, touring the country with Darius Rucker, and playing some of the biggest arenas in America with fellow rule-breaker Eric Church.

“Most duos are built on singing,” says TJ. “But John is an incredible guitar player, and this band is built on me singing and John playing guitar. It gives us two parallels that work nicely together.”

“It’s like an old-school rock approach,” added John, who cites classic bands like Aerosmith and the Allman Brothers as influences on the duo’s dynamic. “Groups like that always had the lead singer as well as the sideman guitar player. That’s what we’re going for, too. We’re carving our own path in country music.

Released on April 20, 2018 the 10-track PORT SAINT JOE was described as album made by the sea and intrinsically ‘of’ the sea. The album made a bow at No. 2 on Top Country Albums and No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200, selling 19,000 copies (22,000 album-equivalent units) in its first week. As of October 2019 it had sold 90,600 copies in the United States

The album opened with a Jimmy Buffett style feel as waves roll in to the shore and a guitar gently picks in the background. What follows were 10 tracks that are rich in authenticity yet as diverse as you could possibly get on one recording, but all tied together seamlessly by TJ’s rich vocals, although as good a singer as TJ is, ‘Port Saint Joe’ is really John’s album as he highlights his skill, diversity and extraordinary ability to speak through the notes, chords and solos that he plays.

After the waves on opener ‘Slow Your Roll’ subside the music takes over and what we find is a funky, laid back song about chilling out and taking it easy. The opening line of the whole album is, ‘Take a little break from the rat-race,” which sets the tone for what is to come. John’s guitar, just like on many tracks on the album, is restrained:  emotional yet succinct, nuanced yet expressive. And this is just the start of the journey!

The Single: "Shoot Me Straight" , the rollicking first single off Port Saint Joe, captured the brothers' gritty rock style and included a three-minute guitar solo. The song focuses on a breakup. "Make it burn the whole way down / Lay my six-foot four-inch a-- out on the ground," TJ Osborne sings with a little bit of begging for mercy and a lot of cocky swagger. "Yeah, tomorrow I'll have a hard hangover and one hell of a heartache / So pour it on like a shot of whiskey / And shoot me straight." 

The Songs: All 10 songs on Port Saint Joe were written or co-written by the John and TJ Osborne; their co-writers include Lee Thomas Miller, Kendall Marvel, Barry Dean, Shane McAnally and Troy Verges.Ranging from a traditional country waltz (“Tequila Again”) to Muscle Shoals-inspired soul grooves (“A Little Bit Trouble"), the songs on Port Saint Joe take on the broad personality of the duo and play out like a live album, with imperfections and little editing.

“A lot of the takes you hear were live takes,” John Osborne told AP News. “We’re not going in and overdubbing anything.” While a rock-inspired tinge comes through on many of the songs on Port Saint Joe, Brothers Osborne said they hearken back to their country roots more often than not: “I am not saying we’re a throwback country band by any stretch, but we are still keeping in tradition,” Osborne adds. “It’s easy to let yourself veer away from that because, monetarily, it might make more sense to try do something that is more pop or more mainstream. We’re just adhering to what we do naturally and what we think is authentic.”
