Country music and trucking are are often two entities that often cross paths, with film throwbacks to the likes of 'Smokey and The Bandit' and 'Convoy' to name but a few.

Trucking is a huge thing in America with truckers clocking up an impressive 279.1 billion miles as an industry each year and the Brothers Osborne took their show to the truckers to say thank you.

Back on Monday 18th December they performed at Primm, Nevada's Whiskey Pete's Truck Stop, one of the largest truck stops in the country. Truck drivers were treated to a free performance, hosted by Verizon Telematics, which included a holiday meal for the festive season.

It took place on the day where truckers in America changed from paper tachographs to digital versions to log their driving hours.

Brothers Osborne head into 2018 with a Grammy nomination for best country duo/group performance for 'It Ain't My Fault'. Also next year they are due to hit Dublin's Academy on 4th May and Belfast's Limelight on 5th May. Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.
