Award-winning
guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Anders
Osborne is set to release his new CD, Peace, on
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. OffBeat magazine will exclusively premiere
the song Sentimental Times at OffBeat.com
beginning on Tuesday, September 3. Relix.com
premiered the title track on August 30.
“It was a sunny day in New
Orleans, spring of 2011,” says Osborne of Sentimental Times. “I picked
up my J45 with old rubbery strings on it. It had been ten years since my mother
passed away. I strummed slowly and gently on my guitar and started to sing about
two events (the other being Hurricane Katrina) that broke my heart. These are my
sentimental times.”

With Peace,
Osborne continues the journey started by his previous Alligator
Records releases, American Patchwork and
Black Eye Galaxy, emerging from a whirlwind of
emotional chaos and moving toward a sense of inner peace. Recorded at Dockside
Studios in Louisiana and produced by Osborne and Warren Riker,
Peace looks at the title subject from all angles.
According to Osborne, “Peace is light from darkness.
The songs are written from the outside looking in. They are not making any
judgments. I’m just stating facts. I’m writing from a brighter perspective.
There’s less dusk and dark, and much more sunlight. The results are greater than
I expected. The driving tones and sounds are free and natural. This is one of
the coolest records I’ve ever made.”

Between the potency of
his richly detailed songwriting, his intensely emotional, soulful vocals and his
piercing, expert guitar work, New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is among the most
original and visionary musicians writing and performing today. Guitar Player
calls him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” New
Orleans’ Gambit Weekly recently honored Osborne as the Entertainer Of
The Year. OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist for the
third year in a row, and the Best Songwriter for the second straight year.
Osborne also won Song Of The Year for his composition, Louisiana
Gold.

Since the release of
his 2010 Alligator Records debut, American Patchwork,
his 2012 follow-up, Black Eye Galaxy, and his
critically acclaimed 2013 EP, Three Free Amigos,
Osborne has earned hordes of new fans. He has toured virtually non-stop, either
with his road-tested trio, as a solo artist, or as a guest with his countless
musical admirers, including Toots and The Maytals, Stanton Moore, Derek Trucks,
Warren Haynes, Keb Mo, The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh and Karl Denson’s Tiny
Universe. He’s appeared on Galactic’s Ya-Ka-May album, and in 2011
produced and played on critically acclaimed albums by Tab Benoit, Johnny Sansone
and Mike Zito.

Osborne will bring his music to major markets this fall,
including stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Colorado.
