BROTHERS OSBORNE PICK UP THEIR SIXTH CMA VOCAL DUO OF THE YEAR.

Artist: Brothers Osborne

Brothers Osborne picked up their sixth Vocal Duo of the Year at Wednesday night’s (November 8th) CMA Awards. In accepting their award, the pair thanked their families and the industry, as well as acknowledged the other nominees in the category and were equal parts self-deprecating and humble.

Backstage, TJ told reporters that he truly did not think they’d win the award this year and how he needs to get out of his head at times.

“I did not expect us to win. I felt that way every single year, and it has always felt like it was this close to slipping away from us,” says TJ. “And I don’t know if it feels that way for other artists, but I do think what happens to all of us in our heads is mostly not reality when we’re thinking about if we’re cool, if we’re still gonna be relevant. But it’s something that I think of regularly and I’m like, I wonder if this is the last year that we get to feel like we’re on top of the world. And then it keeps happening. I think the thing I need to change is probably just wake up and realize that we’re gonna be here for a while, at least I hope, and probably get a better therapist.”

We are shocked and honored each and every time we take home this award. Thank you to everyone who’s had our backs! Love y’all. #CMAawards @CountryMusic pic.twitter.com/RubidFYWN3

John is really trying to live in the moment and savor the success and accolades the two have achieved. “We were here (in Nashville) for well over a decade before we ever got signed to a record deal,” he says. “So, you really try to relish these moments that happen because some people are like, ‘Oh yeah, you did it again.’ It’s like, no, this is our moment, this is our year, because at some point, it will pass, you know, and you’ve got to relish it. There will be a time when we aren’t even nominated. There will be a time when we can’t even get in the damn building, and we’ll look back and wished we would have relished it more. So, I definitely don’t want to miss any of this.”

John and TJ are currently making their way up the country charts with their latest single, “Nobody’s Nobody,” from their self-titled album.

JOHN: “We’ve had a great moment these last several years, but we’ve still spent the vast majority of our lives in actual obscurity. We were here (in Nashville) for well over a decade before we ever got signed to a record deal. So, you really try to relish these moments that happen because some people are like, ‘Oh yeah, you did it again.’ It’s like, no, this is our moment, this is our year, because at some point, it will pass, you know, and you’ve got to relish it. There will be a time when we aren’t even nominated. There will be a time when we can’t even get in the damn building, and we’ll look back and wished we would have relished it more. So, I definitely don’t want to miss any of this.”
