Stephen Wilson Jr. - Gary The Torch Tour in Nashville

Stephen Wilson Jr. brings his Gary The Torch Tour to Nashville, offering a blend of country and rock that he describes as "Death Cab for Country." Raised in Seymour, Indiana, Wilson overcame stage fright through competitive boxing and found his voice in songwriting after being moved by Tim McGraw's "Don't Take the Girl." His music draws from influences like Willie Nelson and Nirvana, and his live shows reflect his journey from a food-science lab at Mars to a full-time musician.

Wilson's debut album *Son of Dad* was inspired by the death of his father, and his set includes tracks from that album as well as his covers EP *Blankets*, which features songs by Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins. Fans can expect a raw, emotional performance that showcases his storytelling and guitar work, honed by studying Soundgarden's tunings. This tour supports his single "Gary," which reached the top 40 on Billboard Country Airplay.
