Who Are The Brothers Osborne?
The Brothers Osborne is a country music duo comprised of John and T.J Osbourne. John was born on April 27, 1982, while T.J was born on November 18, 1984. The brothers were the middle of five children born to working-class parents in the rural town of Deale, Maryland. Their father worked as a plumber, which meant he didn’t earn a lot of money, so the family always struggled to make ends meet.
The boys had to learn to find joy in their lives no matter what. Whenever the lights went out because electric bills had not been paid, the brothers would make a fun game out of it. Being poor was not a concept their childish minds could wrap around, they just understood it was how life was.
John and T.J were introduced to music as kids. Once upon a time, their parents had been singer-songwriters trying to make it in Nashville, so music has always been a part of their lives. It is said that the boys began playing instruments at a young age. Soon enough, they were practising every chance they got, and experimenting with writing and singing their own lines.
Their Career
John and T.J didn’t set out to form a musical duo, although they were both interested in music. John moved to Nashville in 2002 to kick-start his career, while T.J joined him two years later, but the latter wouldn’t make peace with the idea of performing publicly until several years later. By this time, John already had a band of his own called KingBilly, but he would occasionally play the guitar for some of T.J,’s solo sets. People began pointing out the synergy between them and praising it.
After years of compliments and positive feedback, the two decided to form third own band in 2012, and Brothers Osborne was born. Almost immediately, offers for record deals began pouring in. A few months later, the duo signed a record deal with EMI Nashville.
They released their first single titled Let’s Go There in 2019, which rose to Top 40 on country airplay. Rum, their second single was released in 2014 and it reached Top 40 again. Later in the year, they released a self-titled E.P. Stay a Little Longer was their third single. It was released in 2015 and went on to become a Top 5 country music hit the following year.
Brothers Osbourne released their debut album called Pawn Shop in 2016, which was produced by Jay Joyce. They wrote nearly all the songs on the albums and co-wrote some with musicians such as Ross Copperman, Lew Thomas Miller, Casey Beathard, Shane McAnally, and . The album went on to earn gold certification.
Their second album, Port Saint Joe, named after the place it was recorded in, was released in April 2018. It was heralded by the single, Shoot Me Straight.
The duo has been nominated for several awards including a Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards, which they have won a number of times. They are also a three-time Grammy Award nominee.
What Is Their Net Worth?
The siblings got a Grammy nomination without an album so it is hardly a surprise that people are already wanting to know the extent of the wealth they have accumulated from their career as musicians. While we can tell that the Brothers Osborne have done well for themselves considering the successful tours they have been pulling off, it is difficult to place a figure on their wealth at the moment.
