Private Set with Anders Osborne

Posted over 5 years ago
So I was at this wedding this weekend, and Anders Osborne showed up to perform the song for the Bride and Groom's first dance. What a treat. He then performed a private set for the after party, and it just got better from there. All I can say is WOW!Anders Osborne is easily one of the most underated and undiscovered musicians playing today. He is a truly gifted songwriter, whose guitar playing easily ranks up there with the likes of Trey Anastasio and Warren Haynes. His jams just lifted me about five feet off the ground. All of this was backed up by a band of New Orleans veterans that took the jam anywhere it needed to go. If you have not seen him perform live, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately he does not tour that often and can usually be seen playing locally down in New Orleans. If you can't get to a live show, his studio recordings are stellar as well. I'd start with "Living Room" and then move on to "Ash Wednesday Blues"

  1. Justin says Wow!!! That is right up there with RAQ's rendition of "Just Kissed My Baby" during my first dance.......I agree 100%. Anders is the real deal with his own sound. The live shows are out of this world.
