Brothers Osborne release their debut album, Pawn Shop, today (Friday, January 15th). The 11-song album features their current Grammy-nominated hit single, “Stay A Little Longer.”
Brothers John and TJ Osborne decided that as a duo, they wanted to created a different sound from other country pairs. John tells us: “It’s kind of an old-school rock approach, you know. In country music, you have two singers that sing a lot of harmonies and stuff together, and we do that as brothers – sing a lot together – but his voice in the band is his voice and my voice is guitar. We look back at a lot of old rock bands like Aerosmith to The Allman Brothers and guys like that, where it’s like a lead singer and the sideman guitar player. That’s the approach that we’re going for, and it seems to be really working for us. It’s kind of carving our path in country music.”
Brothers Osborne will perform on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday (January 18th), followed by a performance on NBC’s Today show Tuesday (January 19th).
