Brothers Osborne Announces 2018 Canadian Tour Dates

Today, two-time CMA and ACM Vocal Duo of the Year winners, Brothers Osborne, announce their Canadian tour dates as the kick off of their headlining tour. Currently on Dierks Bentley’s U.S Mountain High Tour, Brothers Osborne will begin their headlining tour in Abbotsford, BC making stops across Canada followed by a string of dates in the UK. See below for the full tour itinerary.

The duo recently released their sophomore album, Port Saint Joe, on April 20 via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The first single off the project, “Shoot Me Straight” was released on January 8 and was produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town). John and TJ Osborne co-wrote every track on Port Saint Joe along with frequent collaborators Lee Thomas Miller, Kendall Marvel, Barry Dean, Shane McAnally, Troy Verges and more. The title, Port Saint Joe, reflects the small town on the Florida coast where the real-life siblings recorded the album. See below for tracklisting.

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. John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two years later, TJ joined him. It was then they formed Brothers Osborne as a twang-and-crunch 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 singer/songwriter siblings recently won CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year” for the second year in a row in addition to “Music Video of the Year” for their Top 10, thre time GRAMMY-nominated single “It Ain’t My Fault.” They also stand as the reigning ACM “Vocal Duo of the Year” and “New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year.”

Dave Grohl On Foo Fighters And Creating Music After Kurt Cobain’s Death

Dave Grohl appeared on CBS Morning Show over the weekend, and talked about his struggle to create – much less listen – to music after Kurt Cobain’s suicide.

“Still, to this day, whenever I see a new artist that’s young that blows up and becomes gigantic overnight, I kind of get worried for them,” he said. “I don’t think anybody’s cut out for it.”

How did you do up there?

“I was the kid with long hair in my face behind drums that looked like washing machines, and I could walk in the front door of a Nirvana gig and not really get noticed. So, I didn’t have to suffer a lot of the pressures that Kurt did as the frontman.”

It was a four-year rocketship ride aboard what became one of the biggest bands in rock history. At the height of it all, in 1994, Cobain took his own life.

Where are you right after Kurt dies?

“Just lost,” Grohl said. “I went through a really dark period where I couldn’t really even listen to the radio because it broke my heart just to hear music.”

Kurt Cobain’s Isolated Vocals For Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”

September 10, 1991. Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit was released, and launched a passionate movement we’ve yet to see again.

Producer Butch Vig was only able to get three vocal takes from Kurt Cobain; the producer commented, “I was lucky to ever get Kurt to do four takes.”

Smells Like Teen Spirit was released to radio on August 27, 1991, and the song did not initially chart, and sold well only in regions of the United States with an established Nirvana fanbase. The single was intended to be a base-building alternative rock cut from the album, and not expected to be a hit; the follow-up single “Come as You Are” was planned as the single could cross over to mainstream formats. However, campus radio and modern rock radio stations placed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on heavy rotation. Danny Goldberg of Nirvana’s management firm Gold Mountain said: “None of us heard it as a crossover song, but the public heard it and it was instantaneous … They heard it on alternative radio, and then they rushed out like lemmings to buy it.”

“Daybreak Express” (1953): D A Pennebaker’s Ride Through New York City With Duke Elllington As The Soundtrack

“Daybreak Express is a short kinetically edited, 16mm Kodachrome ride on New York City’s 3rd Avenue “El” elevated railway. And better than that, it’s got music by Duke Ellington. AND it’s directed and produced by D A Pennebaker, one of the great music video and film directors of all time.

D A says, “I wanted to make a film about this filthy, noisy train and it’s packed-in passengers that would look beautiful, like John Sloan’s New York City paintings, and I wanted it to go with my Duke Ellington record “Daybreak Express.”

I didn’t know much about film editing, or in fact about shooting, so I bought a couple of rolls of Kodachrome at the drugstore, and figured that since the record was about three minutes long, by shooting carefully I could fit the whole thing onto one roll of film. Of course that didn’t work since I couldn’t start and stop my hand-wound camera that easily so I ended up shooting both rolls and even a few more before I was through. It took about three days to film and then sat in a closet for several years until I figured out how to edit it and make a projection print.

I took it to the Paris Theater to see if they would run it. By pure chance it ended up with the Alec Guinness comedy “The Horse’s Mouth,” which ran there for nearly a year. Since I had a large collection of jazz records, I figured I’d found a way to break into the film business with music films, and it did get me started, but I was never able to make another film like Daybreak.”
