Stephen Wilson Jr. and HARDY have released an acoustic duet of ‘Father's Søn', a song that originally featured on Wilson Jr.'s debut album ‘søn of dad‘.
The long-time friends toured together for the first time earlier this year on HARDY's QUIT!! tour. The performed ‘Father's Søn' on stage together to commemorate Wilson’s last night with the tour. Watch a new performance video directed by Jace Kartye:
“My friend HARDY and I sang a song that’s dear to my soul,” shared Wilson Jr. “We are both our fathers’ sons. He was so kind to pull me up on stage and play this song in front of his fans in the middle of his shows on his tour. Indelible memories I am grateful for. It sounded so good I couldn’t help but ask him to sing it with me again. And he did.”
About the collaboration, HARDY adds: “I casually asked SWJ to hop up and sing ‘Father’s Son’ acoustic during my set since it was his last show. I told him I’d just play along and sing harmonies. That turned into a moment…a huge moment. It was a moment I wanted to live forever, and now it gets to. This song is incredible, and I thank SWJ for letting me be a part of this new version.”
One year ago, Stephen Wilson Jr. released his critically-acclaimed debut double album ‘søn of dad' – a 22-song tribute to his late father, released five years to the day that his father passed away.
This year alone, Wilson Jr. mounted his debut headline tour which sold out immediately and toured with Brothers Osborne, HARDY, The Cadillac Three and Joss Stone, with festival appearances at Stagecoach, Country Thunder, Tortuga and many more. He’s now on a victory lap headline fall tour which will make stops in Atlanta, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia and many more.
