It’s not every day you meet a singer-songwriter who’s equally at home in a science lab as he is on the stage, but Stephen Wilson Jr. isn’t your average artist. The biochemist-turned-musician has made waves with his debut album, søn of dad, a raw and riveting tribute to his late father that showcases his gift for marrying deeply personal lyrics with genre-bending musicality. On October 17th, fans will get to experience a new dimension of Wilson Jr. when he takes the stage for a special episode of Live at the Print Shop, where he’ll share previously unheard stories and deliver a series of performances that capture the full force of his talent. You can watch the full session when it premieres here.

As a sneak peek, Live at the Print Shop recently released “Calico Creek,” a stripped-down, acoustic version of one of Wilson Jr.’s standout tracks. With only his voice and guitar, he transforms the song into a haunting narrative that’s as much about mood as it is about melody. The performance underscores why he’s considered one of Nashville’s most promising new voices—unafraid to tackle weighty themes of grief, regret, and redemption, yet somehow always leaving the listener with a sense of hope.

For the full experience, make sure to watch the complete episode HERE on October 17th. Expect to see Wilson Jr. not just as a musician, but as a storyteller weaving together past and present in a way that’s sure to resonate with anyone who’s ever struggled to find their way.
