Stephen Wilson Jr - Son Of Dad (Deluxe)

Stephen Wilson Jr.'s journey from the hills of southern Indiana to Nashville, Tennessee, was a winding road that took many detours: he was an Indiana State Golden Gloves finalist in boxing, a scientist and lead guitarist and songwriter in an indie rock band. In 2016, he left his lab work and signed a publishing deal with BMG Nashville, where his alchemical songcraft immediately made waves and was utilized by Caitlyn Smith, Old Dominion, Tim McGraw, Sixpence None the Richer, Leigh Nash and many others. 2023 was the breakthrough year for Wilson Jr, who signed to Big Loud Records and released his first double album, søn of dad: a triumphant, genre-spanning set of 22 songs dedicated to his late father and gifted to the world on the five-year anniversary of his death. The album was named the No. 1 album of 2023 by Holler and named one of the best albums of the year by Whiskey Riff, Wide Open Country, music critic Grady Smith and Rolling Stone. Last year he toured with Brothers Osborne, The Cadillac Three, Midland, Hailey Whitters and The Lone Bellow and debuted at the Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach, Ryman Auditorium, CMA Fest and Red Rocks. This year he will be touring with HARDY, Brothers Osborne, Charles Wesley Godwin and The Cadillac Three and performing at festivals such as C2C, Tortuga, Stagecoach and Country Thunder.
