T. J. Osborne was in his Nashville home when he called to talk about the tour that he and brother John were about to begin. He’d only recently learned that the Brothers Osborne had received two Grammy nominations (Best Country Album for “Port Saint Joe” and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Shoot Me Straight.”)
That recognition had Osborne in a reflective mood, looking back to when the duo released its first album just over five years ago.
“It’s always a good morning when you wake up to those,” Osborne said. “You dream of stuff like that happening. When it happens, it seems like your wildest dreams – that it is a dream and didn’t really happen.”
The Brothers Osborne got their first Country Music Association nomination for Vocal Duo of the Year in 2015. They lost to Florida Georgia Line that year. But the Maryland born-and-raised brothers took the award in 2016, 2017 and last November.
