Anders Osborne
New Orleans guitar poet — swampy blues-rock with a songwriter's soul, equally at home stretching into a festival jam or landing a confessional ballad.
Anders Osborne was born in Sweden and settled in New Orleans in the 1980s, where he has been based ever since. He works in a mix of blues, roots rock and soul, with slide and lead guitar playing that can stretch out at length, and songwriting that has often dealt directly with addiction and recovery.
He has recorded for labels including Alligator, and his songs have been picked up by other artists, most visibly "Watch the Wind Blow By," which became a country hit for Tim McGraw. Osborne is also a frequent collaborator within the New Orleans scene, playing with local players and appearing regularly in the city's clubs alongside his touring work.
