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 duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years. Standing as nine-time GRAMMY nominees, the singer/songwriter siblings recently took home their first trophy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Younger Me”) at the 64th GRAMMY Awards. The duo scored their fourth Vocal Duo of the Year trophy at the 55th annual CMA Awards, in addition to being named ACM Duo of the Year three times. Overall, Brothers Osborne have collected five CMA and six ACM trophies. Additionally, they received the ASCAP Vanguard Award in 2019 recognizing artists whose innovative work is helping to shape the future of music. Brothers Osborne’s deluxe edition of their GRAMMY nominated third studio album, Skeletons, is out now. Originally released in October 2020, Skeletons features their recent single “I’m Not For Everyone,” as well as their Top 25 hit “All Night.” Included on Skeletons Deluxe, “Younger Me” was released in response to the overwhelming support TJ received after sharing his personal story. John and TJ wrote and produced the track, with Kendell Marvel serving as an additional co-writer. Initially breaking through with their debut album Pawn Shop, the Gold Certified project featured three GRAMMY-nominated tracks including the 2X Platinum Certified No. 1 smash hit “Stay A Little Longer,” Top 10 Platinum Certified hit “It Ain’t My Fault,” and Gold Certified Top 25 hit “21 Summer.” Their sophomore album, Port Saint Joe, was nominated for Best Country Album at the 61st GRAMMY Awards and includes the Top 40 GRAMMY-nominated singles “Shoot Me Straight” as well as “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You).” Brothers Osborne just wrapped their headlining WE’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE TOUR and have previously toured with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert and more.

As a writer, do you see social media as a waste

of time? Perhaps you wonder what the point is, how not to get sucked into the social media vacuum, and if there’s any way to streamline your efforts so you can get back to writing. Social media is only one tool in your marketing toolbox, but it’s an important tool for writers and authors in today’s marketing and branding landscape. Whether your goal is to publish your writing, submit to writing contests, become a freelance writer, or secure speaking opportunities to build your brand – or if you’re already published – this session is for you. Questions Melody hears often: Do I need to be on every social media platform? How do I make graphics? Must I post every day? Is it okay to post the same thing on LinkedIn that I post to Instagram? How do I find my fan base? Join Melody for answers to these questions, and to learn how to get started, how to keep going, and why in tarnation you’re on social anyway. You’ll get tips, tricks, and tools. You’ll get know-how. You’ll get some humor mixed in because you know her motto: it can’t be all serious all the time! Material presented will help newbies and veterans alike. Don’t miss this session.
