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.
Port Saint Joe
Brothers John and T.J. Osborne co-wrote all 10 tracks on the new project, including the lead single, "Shoot Me Straight." The album title, Port Saint Joe, comes from the town in Florida where they recorded it, teaming up with frequent collaborators and some of Nashville's top songwriters Shane McAnally, Barry Dean, Kendall Marvel, Lee Thomas Miller and Troy Verges to write the stories.
"Port Saint Joe is a sonic representation of who we’ve become not only as a band but as people,” John Osborne says in a press release. "Every show we’ve ever played together is on this record. Every song we’ve ever written and every mile we’ve ever ridden has led to the making of this record. Imperfections and all."
"We shacked up for two weeks to make an unabashed record that would reflect who we are in every way, and in the process we had the most enjoyable and memorable recording experience of our lives," adds T.J.
Port Saint Joe follows Brothers Osborne's debut album, Pawn Shop, that gave us their first No. 1 hit "Stay a Little Longer" and "It Ain't My Fault," which earned them a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2018 Grammy Awards. That night, alongside Maren Morris and Eric Church, they also performed a special tribute to those impacted by recent concert tragedies.
Years before they climbed the country charts with songs like “Stay a Little Longer” and “Rum,” the Brothers Osborne grew up in Deale, Maryland, a small fishing town on the Atlantic seaboard. It was a cozy place, filled with blue-collar workers who made their living on the water. During the weekends, many of those workers would head over to the Osborne household, where a series of loose, all-night jam sessions filled the Maryland air with the sounds of Bob Seger, Hank Williams, Tom Petty and George Jones.
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.
The singer/songwriter siblings recently earned back-to-back ACM Vocal Duo of the Year Awards along with ACM Music Video of the Year for their Top 10, GRAMMY-nominated single, “It Ain’t My Fault.” The award-winning video also stands as the current CMA Music Video of the Year. Brothers Osborne also currently reigns as the two-time CMA Vocal Duo of the Year. 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.” They just released their new Top 30 single “Shoot Me Straight” off their sophomore album, PORT SAINT JOE.
