ANDERS OSBORNE is currently in the studio working
on his new release that is scheduled for April 2010. Armed with a fist
of new songs and a powerful new sound, Anders is joined by Stanton
Moore of Galactic on Drums and Robert Walter on Hammond B3.
Anders will be appearing at a few US dates between now and the end of
the year including October 31 in Honolulu. There have been talks about
an Edwin McCain acoustic tour in January and a double bill with the
Stanton Moore Trio for the first few months to kick off the new
release. Anders Osborne has been working and living as a professional
songwriter out of New Orleans since 1985. Osborne's songs have been
recorded by artists such as Tim McGraw, Keb' Mo', Dr. John, Tab
Benoit,Double Trouble, and many others. Anders and his band toured the
U.S. during these years and in 1995, at which point he was signed to
Okeh Records and released the critically acclaimed album entitled
"Which Way to Here". The record became Osborne's first commercial break
with two top-five singles, "Favorite Son"and "Pleasin' You." Both were
featured in several Hollywood movies, and the latter was later recorded
by Jonny Lang. Soon after, Anders songs appeared Keb' Mo's Gold selling
1998 "Slow Down" album which achieved Gold status and later won a
Grammy award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. The album featured two
songs co-written with Osborne for which he received a Grammy.
In
2006 an Osborne penned the song "Watch the Wind Blow By" that was
recorded by country music star Tim McGraw, hitting No. 1 on the country
charts for 2 weeks and selling over 5 million copies of McGraw's "The
Dancehall Doctors" album. The song appeared again later on McGraw's
"Greatest Hits, Vol 2" album which sold 3 million copies.
During
this time, Anders worked with a number of publishers, first for
Polygram Nashville in 1994, then later for Universal Nashville and most
recently for Razor and Tie. Besides his own records, some of Ander's
producer credits include Tab Benoit "Wetlands" (Telarc) and Clarence
Bucaro "Sweet Corn" (Rounder). Compilations appearances include "The
Songs Of Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde" ,"Happiness Is A Warm Gun - The
Beatle's Blues White Album" and the "Grateful Dead Tribute Album".
Osborne's
travels, life experiences, and his story telling ability gives him a
prominent edge as a songwriter and wordsmith. He is able to visualize a
look into ordinary life and relate to the everyday middle class
American.. These are the refined qualities that attract many Artists to
seek his songs and music for their own recordings. DISCOGRAPHY
