Stephen Wilson Jr.

Stephen Wilson Jr. will be at the Trianon in Paris on 27 October 2026 for a stop on his Gary The Torch Tour. A singer-songwriter raised in southern Indiana and now based in Nashville, he crafts songs where alt-country meets spare folk and rock energy with a grunge heritage. His rough voice carries narrative lyrics about family memory, bereavement, tensions between small-town life and the city, and Midwestern landscapes.

After søn of dad (2023), he brings to the stage a repertoire that alternates slow ballads, more electric numbers and songs with an almost confessional tone. Guitars front and center, tight rhythms, crisp melodies: a rootsy yet precise sound, conceived for live performance. In Paris, you’ll find that blend of intensity and restraint serving a direct songwriting approach, between raw storytelling and singalong choruses. A date that condenses his path as a songwriter, from Americana tradition to a contemporary rock sensibility.
