Today, the Indiana-born, Nashville-based rising star Stephen Wilson Jr. released his new single “Hardwired” featuring Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Wilson Jr., Jesse Frasure, Adam Hood, and Miranda Lambert, “Hardwired” is a vivid portrait of working-class perseverance that culminates in a stunning interpolation of The Pixies iconic song “Where Is My Mind?”. The song was released alongside a hypnotic and hair-raising visualizer directed by Jace Kartye. “Hardwired” follows last month’s release of “Gary” (Live From CMA Fest 2026) and his most recent single “Preacher’s Kid,”.
Throughout the rest of the year, Wilson Jr. will tour the US and Europe on his headline Gary The Torch Tour that will culminate with two shows at The Truth in Nashville, TN on December 11 and 12. He will also tour as part of the Outlaw Music Festival this summer, and will support Dave Matthews Band on September 4 at the Gorge Amphitheater and Brandi Carlile on September 11-13 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
