Anders Osborne Wins Two OffBeat Magazine Best Of The Beat Awards

Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Anders Osborne won two OffBeat magazine "Best Of The Beat Awards" in a ceremony held in New Orleans on Friday, January 28.

Osbone took home the award for Best Roots Rock Album for his recent Alligator CD American Patchwork, as well as the honor for Best Guitarist.

In his review of the CD, OffBeat writer John Swenson wrote, "American Patchwork is the album Osborne fans have been waiting for. The record is a focused and tuneful triumph. Osborne's gifts as a guitar player are significant. His voice is so emotionally intense it feels like an explosion. He writes with remarkable eloquence...This is the living definition of great art."

Osborne is currently taking a break from touring with his own group to play a series of dates with the Voice Of The Wetlands All-Stars, a band that includes Tab Benoit, Jumpin'  Johnny Sansone, Cyril Neville, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, and Waylon Thibodeaux.
