“I love country music. So I think my Aunt Marie’s excited one of us kept it country,” adds Nathan, who is the son of Alan Osmond.

“Four No.1 hits so far in a row and we just want to keep doing it,” the entertainer says with a big smile, noting that he will be performing a residency with Jay Osmond in Branson, Missouri in October, with tickets going on sale Feb. 1.
As for the Osmonds' “diehard” and spillover fan base he expects to see out at his shows, Nathan says there’s no one like them and he appreciates their dedication to the family of artists.
“Yeah, we’re adorable,” theAchieving Awesomeness Nowpodcast host teases. “It is so crazy how many people know more about my family than I do. It’s amazing. The Osmond fans are the most diehard.”
