Son of Dad: Music from Grief and Science | Spokane News

Stephen Wilson Junior, ex-scientist and ex-boxer, is now a breakout alt-country rocker whose raw, guitar-driven sound and emotional depth are turning heads. His critically acclaimed debut album “Son of Dad” — born from grief after his father’s death — blends grunge grit with country soul, echoing his Indiana roots and Soundgarden influences. Once a microbiologist, he relearned guitar after an accident, crafting a unique, distorted sonic identity. Tracks like “I’m A Song” and “Grief is Only Love” resonate deeply, while his covers add haunting layers. With a new rock-infused single featuring Miranda Lambert on the horizon, Wilson’s journey feels like a wild, unexpected fight — and he’s just getting warmed up.
