À propos de cet audio
In the mid-1960s, Sue Brewer’s humble living room floor was not just an after-hours clubhouse for artists looking to escape the Nashville establishment, but a creative sanctuary.
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Before they were household names, these budding legends called Sue’s Nashville apartment—lovingly dubbed the “Boar’s Nest”—home. Sue’s place was an intimate staging ground where a new breed of singer-songwriters—wounded souls, wayward upstarts—would spur each other on to tap into something bigger, realer.
For Sue Brewer, the ask at each night’s guitar pull would never change: “Make me hurt.” The response would ignite a musical revolution. Brewer shaped the sound and soul of country music as we know it today, despite never picking up an instrument herself.
Enter The Boar’s Nest and discover the true, untold story of Sue Brewer and the dawn of Nashville’s outlaw country movement. Brought to life in vivid detail, this Audible Original stars Emmy-, Grammy-, and Golden Globe-nominated actress/singer Mandy Moore (This Is Us, Dr. Death, A Walk to Remember) as Sue Brewer. Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear, Girls) as the freewheeling Shel Silverstein and a full ensemble cast round out the storytelling. Richly woven with music, friendship, and Sue’s indomitable spirit, The Boar’s Nest is an extraordinary portrayal of the outlaw country movement, told in all its raw, bold, and soulful beauty. Come on in, the door’s open.

T.J. Osborne is a singer/songwriter, producer, and one half of the award-winning country duo Brothers Osborne. A native of Deale, Maryland, he (alongside his brother John) has earned five CMA and six ACM awards, nine Grammy nominations, plus multiple RIAA gold and platinum certifications. Known for his distinct lead vocals set to the pair’s ferocious country-rock sound, his "gorgeous baritone" (
Billboard) has been praised by NPR as that of "a classic country crooner, with a little Eddie Vedder thrown in." With a voice that impacts beyond hit songs, T.J. was at the forefront of a historic moment for the country genre when he publicly came out to
TIME in February 2021. The only openly gay artist signed to a major country label, he recently served as Grand Marshal of the Nashville Pride Parade and received the Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign.
