Brothers Osborne Celebrate Misfit Thanksgiving

The Brothers Osborne have such a busy schedule these days that there’s literally no time to get back home to Maryland to celebrate Thanksgiving with family.

In fact, John Osborne says he and brother T.J. have opted to spend the holiday in Nashville the last few years for a what they call a “misfit Thanksgiving.”

“What we’ve done the past several years is because it’s so hard to go home, we would have what we call the Misfit Thanksgiving dinner, and all the people in Nashville who aren’t able to go home to their families, we would just invite them over to our house and have a big potluck style Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll take like a couple of tables and throw them together and throw some sheets on it just to make it look nice. It’s a very redneck display of like tableware, because all the plates don’t match and the forks and knives don’t match, but we don’t care. People will bring wine, and at the end of the day, we’ll probably have 12-15 people all sitting at dinner together that weren’t able to go home with their families, and just enjoy it with friends. It’s been really fun. Definitely a lot less stress than going home.”

The duo will be overseas this week for shows in the UK, playing their last concert there on December 2nd in London.
