Stephen Wilson Jr., a singer/songwriter from rural Southern Indiana, blends indie rock, grunge, and country to create his unique “Death Cab For Country” sound. Raised by a single father who was a boxer, Wilson pursued a degree in Microbiology before forming the indie rock band AutoVaughn. After touring as their lead guitarist, he focused on songwriting and signed with BMG Nashville. His songs have been recorded by artists like Caitlyn Smith, Brothers Osborne, and Old Dominion. Wilson self-released notable songs such as “the devil,” “Year To Be Young 1994,” “The Beginning,” “Holler From The Holler” (which won six independent film festival awards), and “billy,” gaining a devoted following. In 2023, he signed with Big Loud Records and released his debut EP, “bon aqua,” featuring previous releases and the single “American Gothic” with Hailey Whitters. Wilson has toured with acts like Brothers Osborne and Midland, and has upcoming performances at various festivals and venues.

    I became a fan of The Cadillac Three partially due to their set on this channel, but after discovering Wilson Jr elsewhere, I am so glad you gave him a platform to share his talents with a wider audience.

    Was in the Templeton area last weekend and thinking how cool it would be to see SWJ play at one of the wineries out there. What a joy to find this video. Please come back!

    Am I late to this party, or right on time? His voice is pure, genuine and complex. The musicians who play with this guy, really dig it. You can just feel it. The driving sound, melodies and meaningful lyrics are making it all happen for me.

    Good God darn but these boys know what they are doing, even if they don't, but, I think they do! Who are the band playing with him, they tight as fuck. I hope he takes care of them for ever. Stephen be intense. Peace…

    I grew up near Creston CA. There used to be an old blacksmith/welder across from Hewitt Hardware in Templeton. I learned to love the scent of metalworking in that shop and ended up spending 30 years of my life welding.
    It's probably an entirely different place 30 years from when I was last there. But if SWJ found something of value there, maybe it's still ok.

    I just saw him live. I can't believe I had never heard of him. Absolutely amazing live and his Son of Dad material is nothing short of incredible.
