Two sons from a working-class family, John and TJ Osborne grew up in a small Maryland water town writing and playing songs for friends and family in their father’s shed.
Today they are known as Brothers Osborne and they are coming to headline Lakes Jam at 10 p.m. Saturday, June 26, on the Bud Light Main Stage at Brainerd International Raceway, north of Brainerd on Highway 371.
Lakes Jam is an outdoor music festival that combines country and rock with premier camping. This year’s event will be presented by Farm Bureau Financial Services. The artists will perform on the Bud Light Main Stage Thursday through Saturday, June 24-26.
According to their bio, John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two years later, TJ joined him. They formed Brothers Osborne as a duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years, the release stated. The singer/songwriter siblings are three-time Country Music Association Duo of the Year winners in addition to being named American Country Music Duo of the Year twice. Overall Brothers Osborne have collected four CMA, five ACM trophies and stand as seven-time Grammy nominees.
Brothers Osborne’s debut Gold Certified album PAWN SHOP features three Grammy-nominated tracks including the Platinum Certified No. 1 smash hit “Stay A Little Longer,” Top 10 Platinum Certified hit “It Ain’t My Fault,” as well as Top 25 hit “21 Summer.” Their sophomore album, “PORT SAINT JOE,” was nominated for Best Country Album at the 61st Grammy Awards and includes the Top 40 Grammy-nominated singles “Shoot Me Straight” as well as “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You).” Brothers Osborne has previously toured with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert and more. In 2019 the duo embarked on a Headlining World Tour which included three sold-out nights at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville which were recorded for their album, Live At The Ryman.
