About Brothers Osborne
Brothers Osborne hail from Deale, Maryland; a water town on the Chesapeake Bay. Upon moving to Nashville, Brothers Osborne began writing and playing every open-mic in town that they could. In 2012 the brothers signed to EMI Nashville (part of the Universal Music Group Nashville). Brothers Osborne mark the first duo signed to the EMI Nashville imprint. Their current single at country radio is the feel-good song “Rum,” a song that the New York Times says “…is elegantly structured, sinewy country passing as back-porch folk.” In addition, Rolling Stone also listed Brothers Osborne as one of 10 Artists You Need To Know. Furthermore Country Weekly listed Brothers Osborne as one of their “ONES TO WATCH IN 2014” and Paste Magazine listed the brothers on their “Best Of What’s Next” list.
