Music is ‘First and Last and Always’ ;)

I have been sharing my multifaceted musical  interests online, here since 2014 but I’ve always played music for others  I have some community radio DJ training & experience too, locally & in northern Ontario 
Streaming on SoundCloud is for my own personal entertainment  It feeds my obsession with new music while soothing my love of past favourites, covers & live versions    
A play on the story of my living.   A soundtrack to life, noted with the bridging of beats, rhythms & melodies. My Segway into being more me than merely words could ever achieve   

Thanks for following & enjoying this extensive ongoing long-play of repostings, in intended flow or shuffle, with my favourite artists   Artist albums are included in the likes   Also,  check out my mixed ‘ tapes’ of favourite artists, as they often get my personal old school Mixed Playlist attention ;) 

The radio was always on in my mother’s kitchen   I remember I started putting albums on my older sister’s turntable at about 7   However, I was surly listening to Jazz, Country & Classical from my Mum’s womb   By 11, I started borrowing classic albums from the library & bought my first album, Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin, in the summer of 1973   

Music is my connector, my heart’s language, my joy, my ‘main squeeze’.  Music is healing & has been my main mental health therapy provider   A connector & communicator of my existence & emotional expression, all the days of my life 

Sincerely, ( Psychedelic ) Rock & Roll X  Naomi

Stephen Wilson Jr. is a singer/songwriter from rural Southern Indiana. Self-described as “Death Cab For Country,” Stephen Wilson Jr. draws upon indie rock, grunge and country to create a distinct sound that is influenced by artists as diverse as The National, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Nirvana.

​

Wilson was raised by a single father who was a boxer and had him boxing from age seven through adulthood as an Indiana State Golden Gloves finalist. The self-taught guitarist moved to Nashville to pursue a degree in Microbiology at MTSU, where he started indie rock band AutoVaughn after finishing his degree. After five years of touring the world as lead guitarist with AutoVaughn, Wilson turned his creative focus toward songwriting and singing. After the band, Wilson relied back on his education where he worked for several years as an R&D scientist at Mars until signing a publishing deal with BMG Nashville in 2016. His songs were soon recorded by acts like Caitlyn Smith, Brothers Osborne, Old Dominion, MacKenzie Porter, Sixpence None the Richer and Leigh Nash.

 

Wilson went on to self-release several songs of his own including, "the devil", "Year To Be Young 1994", "The Beginning", "Holler From The Holler" - which won 6 independent film festival awards for its accompanying music video - and "billy", which caught the attention of Billboard who featured the single in its ‘Makin’ Tracks’ column. Wilson went on to tour the US and Europe with acts like Brothers Osborne, Midland, and Cadillac Three developing a global base of music fans enamored by his emotive performance, skilled guitar prowess, and powerful vocals.

​

In March 2023, he signed to Big Loud Records, and released his debut EP bon aqua. The seven-song collection compiles 6 previously released songs and the brand new single “American Gothic” (feat. Hailey Whitters). Wilson joined Whitters on road as direct support for her Raised Tour and is scheduled to support The Lone Bellow this Spring before performing at Bourbon and Beyond Festival, FairWell Festival and CMA Fest later this year. He is also scheduled to appear at London’s Black Deer Festival and Highways Festival at Royal Albert Hall this year.
