Exclusive Photos: Brothers Osborne Makes Opry Debut
"To be invited to enter these doors as an artist is one of the greatest honors in the world," John Osborne tells us.
Grammy-nominated duo Brothers Osborne fulfilled a longtime dream when they made their debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage earlier this month.
The brothers performed their new single “21 Summer,” their Gold-certified No.1 hit “Stay A Little Longer” from their debut album Pawn Shop, and paid tribute to the late Merle Haggard with “Natural High.”
“We fulfilled a lifelong dream last night,” said TJ. “Standing in that circle as many have done before was one of the highest honors we’ve ever been given.”
John added, “You could almost feel the ghosts resonating out of the oak. We will never take that night for granted.”
