Brothers Osborne Announces Release of Forthcoming Sophomore Album “Port Saint Joe”

As announced by The Associated Press, EMI Nashville’s Brothers Osborne will release their sophomore album Port Saint Joe April 20. The two-time CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year” just released their new single “Shoot Me Straight” off the project which 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.

“Port Saint Joe is a sonic representation of who we’ve become not only as a band but as people,” says John Osborne. “Every show we’ve ever played together is on this record. Every song we’ve ever written and every mile we’ve ever ridden has led to the making of this record. Imperfections and all.”

TJ adds, “we shacked up for two weeks to make an unabashed record that would reflect who we are in every way, and in the process we had the most enjoyable and memorable recording experience of our lives.”

Brothers Osborne recently received their third GRAMMY nomination in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category for their Top 10 rowdy hit “It Ain’t My Fault.” They are scheduled to perform a special tribute to victims of recent concert tragedies on the telecast along with Maren Morris and fellow labelmate Eric Church.

Muscadine Bloodline Release EP Title Track “Movin’ On”

Rising country duo Muscadine Bloodline has released their latest single, “Movin’ On.” Comprised of Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster, the duo co-wrote the new track alongside Cary Barlowe. In addition to the great news of the single release, “Movin’ On” also serves as the title track to the Muscadine Bloodline’s new EP set for release in April.

Rolling Stone Country debuted the first listen of “Movin’ On” and said the song included “emotive harmonies and atmospheric production.” Gary and Charlie plan to keep listeners engaged and shared with Rolling Stone Country, “Once you’re past the first chorus people are either over the song or not over the song, so we always want the song to move,” says Stanton. 

“In the second verse the guitar changes and has its own little riff, so we just like to let the song move where there’s a bunch of different parts and a bunch of different hooks, whether vocally or guitar driven. I feel like the more hooks the better.” Read more here.

“Movin’ On” is available now on digital music outlets. Pre-order your copy of the Movin’ On EP on iTunes here.

Kristian Bush Launches New Podcast “Geeking Out! With Kristian Bush”

Wheelhouse Records’ recording artist and one-half of the Grammy-winning duo, Sugarland, Kristian Bush has announced the launch of his new podcast, Geeking Out! With Kristian Bush.” In each episode, Kristian will sit down with a guest to talk about something they’re obsessed with that has nothing to do with their job; he’ll also share an artist, song, or album that’s got him “geeking out.” Episode One features his friend and label-mate Granger Smith discussing his new favorite hobby: beekeeping.

With the goal of celebrating the fan in all of us, the 12-episode season will feature Kristian chatting with influential tastemakers and everyday people from all walks of life. Joining him for Season One are guests including Academy Award-winning screenwriter and Nashville creator Callie Khouri, actress, producer, and songwriter Rita Wilson, Jean-Claude Van Johnson star Kat Foster, country music journalist Hunter Kelly and more. 

“Everyone is into something: a show they have been binging, a new skill they just learned, a book they can’t put down—something—and when you ask people about what they’re currently into, the answer is always filled with passion,” said Kristian Bush. “I love hearing that excitement, learning about new things, and I’m hoping listeners will connect with it, too, and maybe even pick up a new interest.”

Eastman, and BoBo and Mikey.
