When Dierks Bentley heard the song “Burning Man,” he wanted to collaborate on the song with Brothers Osborne, who are also out on his Mountain High Tour. He felt it was a song the guys would record on their own with or without him.

“I’m a huge fan of those guys. They’re friends. We play in a side band together, a ‘90s country cover band called the Hot Country Knights with a K for anyone who wants to look us up,” says Dierks. “So, we’re just pals, and it’s like this song feels like something that they would sing, you know? It feels like if they’d got this one before I did, they probably would’ve cut it. I’ve never had someone on tour with me – anyone who’s on tour with me is someone I just love. I’ve never had anyone out there that I’m not a huge fan of or I don’t totally believe in, and I’ve never had that plus also had a song we could do together out on the road that’s on an album. It was so easy. I just called ‘em up and sent the song and got a huge ‘Yes’ back from both of them right away. They came into the studio like two days later. It was just a great hang.”

“Burning Man,” as well as Dierks’ latest hit “Woman, Amen,” are included on his new album, The Mountain, due out June 8th.

Brothers Osborne release their sophomore album, Port Saint Joe, on Friday. The pair went down to Florida and holed up in a beach house to record songs for the collection, and they were so affected by their time down there making music, they decided to title the album after Port Saint Joe, Florida.

Their producer, Jay Joyce, first suggested getting out of Nashville and on the beach to record songs for their new album.

“I think it started off as Jay kind of brought it up one time. We were meeting about doing the record and he said, ‘Man, it would be cool to get out of Nashville. I’ve got a beach house that we can go to and just kind of shack up in.’ I think partly it started because he just wanted to get out himself. He had been in his own studio for so long that I think everyone just kind of needed a change of scene,” says TJ Osborne. “We were in this house that was not made for recording at all, which was kind of part of the charm. There was a lot of bleed and none of the doors had any foam or any isolation to them. It was really, really cool. It kind of felt like when you are playing music at home and you just love that jamming. You’re just sitting on your couch playing music, and I felt like that’s kind of what we captured.”

This isn’t the first time John Osborne has been to Port Saint Joe, Florida. “I went to Port Saint Joe years ago to play. It was after one of the hurricanes or the BP oil spill or something like that. It was BP oil spill,” recalls John. “That’s what it was. And the government gave a huge grant to this town that was affected by the oil spill and they used some of the money for a concert series and the band that actually played in Port Saint Joe. They set up a small stage and I thought it was really cool. I never thought I would go back to that place. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice little snapshot in time. And then I kind of forgot about it and then when we went down to Port Saint Joe to record our record I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is that place where we played that one random show where they don’t have concerts.’ It’s a really, really cool town.”

Their latest single, “Shoot Me Straight,” is the first release from Port Saint Joe.

John and TJ picked up TWO ACM Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year and Video of the Year for “It Ain’t My Fault.”

Brothers Osborne recorded much of their new album, Port Saint Joe, in a beach house in Florida, and one of the songs they tracked — “Shoot Me Straight” — was recorded live in front of a bunch of friends who came down to hang out.

“We had just been on the road for months. We had taken a bus from a gig to Port Saint Joe and unloaded our gear off of it, so we were kind of in the mindset of playing like a band and that’s what [producer Jay Joyce] wanted to capture,” says John Osborne. “And ‘Shoot Me Straight’ literally is just us jamming in a room. We had tracked that song a few different times over the two-week course of staying there, and one of the last nights we were there we had some friends all come down from Nashville and we just set up in the room. It was late at night. We had all been drinking and partying a little bit, and he wanted us to get in front of like our friends and jam, and that was the take. He wouldn’t let us fix anything. I’m glad that he didn’t because music these days it’s so perfect. I mean you can go back and fix everything all you want until the cows come home, but this record is a snapshot of just what happened. The four minutes in time — this is what happened and that’s it. And some of our favorite music listening to is that. It’s just a live moment that was captured in time and you can’t really recreate that.”

The reigning ACM and CMA Duo of the Year will perform Saturday (April 28th) at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, before heading overseas to tour the UK.

While in Las Vegas for the 53^rd Annual ACM Awards, EMI Nashville’s Brothers Osborne performed to a packed crowd at a special FRYEDAYS event as part of their ongoing partnership with the authentic and timeless lifestyle brand Frye. The event was held downtown at the Zappos Headquarters and was also available via livestream to fans at home.

John and TJ Osborne are nominated again for “Vocal Duo of the Year” as well as “Music Video of the Year” for their Top 10 rowdy hit “It Ain’t My Fault” at the upcoming 53^rd ACM Awards.  In 2017, the singer/songwriter siblings added their name to the record books as the only duo besides Brooks & Dunn to win both ACM “Vocal Duo of the Year” and ACM “New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year” Awards in the same year.

As anticipation builds for the release of the Maryland natives’ sophomore album on April 20, NPR’s “First Listen” is exclusively streaming Port Saint Joe in its entirety, click HERE. Critics continue to praise the new album with NPR noting, “it’s an excellent Southern rock and roll jam with a blues underbelly” and The New York Times calling it, “an invigoratingly footloose follow-up.”

Brothers Osborne recently announced their first headlining UK tour set to launch May 4 in Dublin, Ireland with additional stops in Belfast, London, Manchester, Glasgow and more. The duo will then join Dierks Bentley on the “Mountain High Tour” kicking off May 17 in Columbia, MD. Tickets and additional information can be found at www.brothersosborne.com

Dierks Bentley kicks off his Mountain High Tour on Friday (May 18th) in Columbia, Maryland with special guests Brothers Osborne and LANCO.

Dierks is looking forward to getting on the road with his opening acts, because he wants to have fun on the road. “I just want this to be fun for me at the end of the day. I’ve got a lot of great stuff going on and I’m gonna spend the whole summer out there,” says Dierks.”It’s not about making money. It’s about my life. I want to have a great summer, have a lot of fun, make a lot of great memories, be totally present from the second we get there on-site, thinking of the fans’ experience when they first pull into a tailgate to when they leave and get home safely. So, it’s really fun, and you want to spend that summer you want to be around, and obviously it’d be nice if it was people that are having success in their career and could help sell tickets and all that. You’re always trying to find that, I say this a lot, someone said this to me early on, where one plus one equals three. You know, where a group of people come together and their sum is greater than their parts.”

The Arizona native is making his way up the country charts with “Woman, Amen” from his upcoming album, The Mountain, available June 8th.

Brothers Osborne will perform “Weed, Whiskey And Willie” on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers May 21st. John and TJ Osborne co-wrote the track with Laura Veltz, and it has quickly become a favorite among critics and audiences alike with Rolling Stone praising the “string-snapping minimalism that builds gradually into a fluttering jam.”

“Weed, Whiskey And Willie” is featured on the duo’s critically-acclaimed sophomore album Port Saint Joe which has been hailed as “soulful, classic-rocking” by NPR and “absolutely superb” by the BBC. The GRAMMY-nominated duo continues to make headway overseas as they just wrapped their first headlining UK tour with every show sold out but one. The Birmingham Mail gave Brothers Osborne 5/5 stars and noted, “they rock on big guitar riffs…bridging country tradition and contemporary rock sensibilities.” Rock ‘N’ Load Magazine in Belfast, Ireland admired the “rollercoaster set of up-tempo and emotive numbers that draw the audience in one by one.” The Maryland natives are set to return to the UK this November.

The singer/songwriter siblings recently took home two trophies at the 53^rd Annual ACM Awards and maintained their reign as Vocal Duo of the Year in addition to winning Video of the Year for their rowdy Top 10 hit “It Ain’t My Fault.”

Brothers Osborne will next join Dierks Bentley on the “Mountain High Tour” kicking off May 18th in Columbia, MD. Tickets and additional information can be found at www.brothersosborne.com

Brothers Osborne repeat as ACM Vocal Duo of the Year and John and TJ also picked up the award for Video of the Year for “It Ain’t My Fault.” Both awards were presented off-camera before the ceremony on Sunday night (April 15th).

The two picked up the very same awards during last fall’s CMA Awards.

Brothers Osborne recorded a very cool version of the 1970 Elton John-Bernie Taupin song, “Take Me to the Pilot” for the new star-studded compilation, Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The collection, which also features Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves, Dierks Bentley, Chris Stapleton, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson and many others, came out on Friday (April 6th).

The boys nearly recorded another one of Elton’s hits, but decided that “Take Me to the Pilot” would be the best fit; a song they could have easily seen themselves record, even if the collection wasn’t part of the equation.

“If you go back and listen to a lot of Elton’s early material, it sounds like some grooving, almost rock-country tunes, and ‘Take Me to the Pilot,’ sounds like a song we could’ve easily have recorded,” says John Osborne.

“We were listening to songs of Elton’s that we thought would be great to do, and some of the songs we were just big fans of, but we realized we probably weren’t the best artist or band to recreate it,” says TJ Osborne. “Then we were listening to ‘Take Me to the Pilot,’ and we thought man, this is something that we probably would’ve wanted to cover and record anyways, regardless of it being on the Restoration project and so we did. I’m pretty proud with how it turned out.”

Brothers Osborne, who are nominated for two ACM Awards (Vocal Duo and Music Video of the Year for “It Ain’t My Fault”), are set to release their brand-new album, Port Saint Joe, on April 20th. They’re currently making their way up the country charts with “Shoot Me Straight.”

Brothers Osborne recorded “Take Me to the Pilot,” which is featured on Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, which will be available this Friday (April 6th). The song, written by Sir Elton and Bernie, was released in 1970 as the B side of the second single from the album, Your Song, which became the singer’s first hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

We’ve included both a full five-minute vignette and a :90 second vignette of Brothers Osborne’s version of “Take Me to the Pilot” for your use.
