As most country artists, Brothers Osborne’s TJ and John Osborne had to “learn” to slow down during the global pandemic that canceled tours, concerts and much more than we all realize. The two have never been people to take time off; they’ve pretty much worked their whole lives. In addition to working on music and writing songs, the time off the road has allowed them to discover other creative interests they truly enjoy.

“We have to keep ourselves busy. TJ and I grew up just working really hard, and we’re busy bodies. We’ve never been mandated to take some time off, so we just work all the time,” says John. “So, the very first thing we had to learn how to do was just slow it down a little bit, and then simply working around the house or yardwork, those cathartic experiences that we don’t get a lot of because we’re always out on the road. The cool thing about it all is we’re only doing it when we want to do it. There’s no rush to do anything. There’s no time frame, there’s no deadline. It’s just waking up every day and going, ‘I feel like doing this today. This is what I want to do,’ and there’s something really nice about that.”

The brothers from Deale, Maryland are making their way up the country charts with “All Night,” which is from their most recent Skeletons album.
