Brothers Osborne is an American country music duo consisting of brothers T.J. Osborne (lead vocals) and John Osborne (guitar, background vocals). They are signed to EMI Nashville and have released a self-titled extended play album and two studio albums: Pawn Shop and Port Saint Joe. The duo has released six singles including "Stay a Little Longer", which charted at No. 4 on Hot Country Songs and No. 2 on Country Airplay in 2016. The duo's albums were both produced by Jay Joyce, and consist largely of songs that both brothers wrote with a number of collaborators. Artists with whom they have collaborated include David Nail, Dierks Bentley, Lee Ann Womack, and Lucie Silvas, the last of whom is John's wife. The musical style of the duo takes influence from Southern rock, outlaw country, and neotraditional country.

History

Brothers Osborne's members, John and T.J. Osborne, were born and raised in Deale, Maryland. The brothers took inspiration from their father's music collection, and as teenagers, they played in a local cover band called Deuce and a Quarter. The two then moved to Nashville and signed a publishing contract with Warner Chappell, and later with the Nashville branch of EMI.[2]

Brothers Osborne EP and Pawn Shop

The duo released their debut single "Let's Go There" in late 2013.[3][4] The song reached Top 40 on Country Airplay at the end of 2013.[5][6] Their second single, "Rum", debuted in early 2014. It also reached Top 40 on Country Airplay, and is included on a five-song, self-titled extended play released in September 2014.[7]

Their third single "Stay a Little Longer" was issued in 2015. This song was originally included on the EP, but was re-recorded for the single release.[2][8] "Stay a Little Longer" went on to become a Top 5 country airplay hit in 2016.[2] It also led to the release of their debut album Pawn Shop, which was mostly produced by Jay Joyce.[2] Two more singles followed from the album: "21 Summer" and "It Ain't My Fault", both of which made the country music charts as well.[9] Concurrently with the former, the duo was featured on David Nail's single "Good at Tonight". Both brothers wrote nearly every song on Pawn Shop, with collaborators including Shane McAnally, Craig Wiseman, Casey Beathard, Ross Copperman, Maren Morris and her husband Ryan Hurd, and Lee Thomas Miller. Musicians appearing on the album included Lee Ann Womack and John's wife,[10] Lucie Silvas. The album was produced by Jay Joyce except for the original recording of "Rum" and the track "Heart Shaped Locket", which the borthers produced with Brad Hill.[11]

Port Saint Joe

The duo released a new single, "Shoot Me Straight", in January 2018[12] from their second studio album, Port Saint Joe, which was released in April.[13] The album, also produced by Joyce, features many of the same collaborators as its predecessor. Also in mid-2018, Brothers Osborne appeared on Dierks Bentley's mid-2018 single "Burning Man".[14]

Musical stylings

John Osborne is the main instrumentalist of the group, handling lead guitar and other string instruments, while T.J. is the lead vocalist. Of their sound, Spin writer Andrew Unterberger said, "John's guitar slides a Hattori Hanzō sharpness, while T.J.’s vocals are wisely kept from going too thick with warbling vibrato, allowing them an understated vulnerability badly lacking in Nashville these days."[15] Stephen Thomas Erlewine contrasted the duo with Sam Hunt and Chris Stapleton, saying that they have "the modern rhythmic snap of the former and the classicist structure of the latter."[16] Allmusic describes the duo as recording "earthy, passionate country-rock",[2] while Country Standard Time reviewer Jeffrey B. Remz noted influences of outlaw country and Southern rock in Pawn Shop, also comparing T.J.'s "sonorous, ultra-deep voice" favorably to Trace Adkins and noting the variety of guitar styles played by John as "sometimes steely, sometimes twangy, sometimes rocking".[17]
