‘Brothers Osborne’ tour coming to city’s Hartford HealthCare Amphitheat­er

- By Joseph Tucci

BRIDGEPORT — “Brothers Osborne” are bringing their “We’re Not For Everyone” Tour to Bridgeport’s Hartford HealthCare Amphitheat­er on Aug. 20.

It’s the first show announced at the amphitheat­er since delays caused by the coronaviru­s pandemic forced previously announced shows to be moved to other locations. The amphitheat­er, being constructe­d on the site of the former Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, was slated to open in 2020 before supply chain problems delayed constructi­on.

“Brothers Osborne” is a Grammy-nominated, country-singing duo from Nashville, Tennessee, made up of John Osborne and TJ Osborne.

In February, TJ Osborne announced that he was gay during an interview with Time, making him the first openly gay man signed to a major country label. In recognitio­n of the support he received from fans, he plans to release a new song titled “Younger Me” on April 16, according to the duo’s website.

During the upcoming tour, attendees can expect to hear the band’s six Grammy-nominated singles, including “Stay A Little Longer,” “It Ain’t My Fault,” and “21 Summer,” as well as Top 40 hits “Shoot Me Straight,” “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You)” and “All Night,” according to the “Brothers Osborne” website.

Travis Denning and Tenille Townes are expected to join the tour as alternatin­g opening acts, according to the band’s website.

Tickets go on sale to the general public April 23 at 10 a.m. on Ticketmast­er.

The Hartford HealthCare Amphitheat­er is aiming to be able to host full capacity events by the summer.
