You can read more about our upcoming event with Stephen Wilson Jr. on our site here.

Stephen Wilson Jr. opens every one of his performances the exact same way, by walking to the microphone and introducing himself to the crowd: “I’m Stephen Wilson Jr.—I am my father’s son.”

Wilson’s entire being is defined by those words, and particularly by the two simple letters that follow his name: Jr. Like his father before him, he is a boxer, and learned discipline and self-esteem in the ring beginning at age 5. He has the same eyes as his dad too. And, most importantly, he has his name.

“You don't have to put Jr. after your name. It’s an optional suffix. But it is very powerful,”Wilson says. “It carries a lot of weight in the sport of boxing, because it means you're an extension of your father. I'm an artist now, but when I see my name on a show poster, I still look at it like a fight card. My first stage wasn’t a stage at all, it was a boxing ring.”

Since Sept. 15, 2018—the day his father died after a brief illness at 59—Wilson’s been in the fight of his life, battling grief and uncertainty to figure out how to carry on without his hero. It’s about tougher than any Wilson faced when competing in the Golden Gloves championships in his native Indiana, but it’s one he’s winning. The proof is in Son of Dad, his triumphant 22-song debut album on Big Loud Records. It is an album that’s impossible to pigeon-hole: It is country, it is rock, it is grunge, and it’s among the most unique records to come out of Nashville in a decade.

Co-produced by Wilson and Benjamin West, Son of Dad is available to order here as a maroon colored vinyl 3 LP set and on CD. All orders placed for event pickup will include a wristband for the album signing. Wristbands are limited and guarantee entrance to our event. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing for all 13+. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband if accompanied by a wristband holding adult.) Orders are limited to two (2) per person / household. All orders beyond 2 per household will be cancelled.
