John and TJ Osborne grew up writing and playing songs for friends and family. After moving from Maryland to Nashville, they launched Brothers Osborne, a self-described “twang-and-crunch duo” that blends country and rock. The band’s been a huge success and recently won back-to-back American County Music Vocal Duo of the Year awards.

Earlier this year, they released their sophomore album, Port Saint Joe. They’ve just announced tour dates in support of the album, and they’ll perform on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the  Agora. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday.
