(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Brothers Osborne, the award-winning country music duo, will bring their signature sound to the stage on Saturday, July 26th, as a featured act in the Toyota Concert Series.
Brothers Osborne is one of music’s most consistently adventurous bands, a duo connected by not just blood, but also a lifetime of performing together, and a shared working-class upbringing in Deale, Maryland. The reigning CMA and ACM Duo of the Year winners, John and TJ Osborne are leaders of a progressive and yet classic school of country music, and the faces of the new generation of Nashville.
The siblings took home their first GRAMMY in 2022, winning Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their song “Younger Me,” inspired by TJ's recent coming out. The song is featured on the deluxe version of their GRAMMY-nominated album, Skeletons. The band has been nominated for 12 GRAMMYs in total, standing as six-time CMA Vocal Duo of the Year winners, where they have been nominated again this year in the category, and are four-time ACM Duo of the Year winners. Overall, they have collected seven CMA awards, seven ACM trophies and received the ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2019. Their critically acclaimed hit songs have tallied multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, while surpassing more than 2.7 billion global streams.
Previously sharing the bill with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, and Miranda Lambert, Brothers Osborne’s latest, We’re Not for Everyone headlining tour hit more than 50 markets. John Osborne produced Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville and has recently produced albums for Grace Bowers and Caylee Hammack. Their fourth studio album, Brothers Osborne, was released in September of 2023 (EMI Records Nashville), which featured the single “Nobody’s Nobody”. In early 2024, they released the Break Mine EP that featured two new songs.
"This is the first time Brothers Osborne will perform at the fair,” said Tom Martinez, CEO of the Cal Expo & California State Fair. "Their music will bring a range of emotions as they play fun songs like ‘It Ain’t My Fault’ to the introspective tune of ‘Younger Me’."
