Our pick
Stephen Wilson Jr. - Gary The Torch Tour
Friday, December 11, 2026 · 7:30 PM · The Truth, The Gulch
The Read
Wilson came to songwriting sideways — an Indiana upbringing, a boxing past, a science career before the music took over — and he has described what he does as death cab for country, which is close enough to be useful. The songs are loud, personal, and heavily concerned with fathers, loss, and the places people leave. The voice is a rasp that sounds like it costs him something. This is a bill that will swing hard between whisper and roar, and the good version leans on the quiet end long enough to earn the volume. Friday night, packed, with a crowd that has adopted this material as personal property. Expect people singing the sad ones louder than the loud ones.
