Anders Osborne December 29, 2010

Back for his second time this year, this world-traveled slide guitar-playing bluesman returns for one night only. And yes, he’s still got the beard. Out on his own at 16, Osborne hitchhiked and played music across Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. He now calls New Orleans home. In addition to Osborne’s creative and, many would say, spiritually moving solo music, Anders has written songs for Brad Paisely, Jonny Lang, Tab Benoit and Jimmy Thackery to name a few. Osborne artfully blends blues, funk, soul and classic R&B to create his own distinctive synthesis of styles. A gritty, soulful world-born blues master, Osborne was meant for StageOne.

"His voice spills out like overflowing ash trays, stale gin and chipped terra cotta tiles. Anders Osborne ain't making excuses or offering explanations; he's bleeding bits of moments, anchoring with tiny details and stubbed toe sentiments that bore into the core." -AMERICAN SONGWRITER
