Sharing a Lifetime in Song, with the Tierney Brothers

You think you and your siblings are close? Michael and Andrew Tierney haven't just shared their lives as brothers together, but for 36 years and counting, they've shared songs, spot-lit stages and the story of one of Australia's biggest musical acts and exports: Human Nature. And they've managed to do it in harmony - both musically and non-musically.   In this conversation with Osher, they look back on this incredible journey and ahead to the music they are now making together under the Tierney Brothers name. They talk about everything that's changed in their lives and the industry - including tensions in the band, Andrew's sobriety, living and working in Las Vegas - and everything that's stayed the same, like their undying love of performance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
