Through the years, Swedish-born American singer-songwriter Osborne—as Americana as they come—played alongside Phil Lesh, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi and wrote a no. 1 hit for Tim McGraw ("Watch the Wind Blow By").

Next time get your ticket early, because like Osborne sings "Life Doesn't Last That Long," and this one in Ybor City is sold-out. Ain't that the damn truth—especially if you don't wear your mask.
