Anders Osborne plays St. Augustine’s world-renowned amphitheater as part of the JJ Grey Sol Revue this weekend, and an even more famous blues stronghold the night before.

Lately, the 58-year-old Swedish-born New Orleans songwriter has been in Picasso mode and playing songs from his 17th studio outing, Picasso’s Villa where he big ups the late Dr. John (“Le Grande Zombie”), wades into politics (“Bewildered”), and hits a couple Americana home runs (“Reckless Heart,” “Real Good Dirt”) along the way.

Tickets to see the Anders Osborne duo alongside Damon Fowler on Saturday, May 25 at Skipper’s Smokehouse are still available for $30-$35.
