From the bedroom straight to the stage. Isaac Gibson of 49 Winchester stopped by the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk to us about why the band doesn’t do pre-show rituals, the story of how Luke Combs bought a t-shirt from their website, how many years it took for 49 Winchester to go “full time,” how their band name came to be, hunting trips that he’s gotten to go on because of his music career and much more. One thing that we were really able to dive into was the collective journey that the band went on to get to where they are today. Isaac talked a lot about how all the band members were still working full time jobs when they initially started out, and it was a matter of years before they were all able to fully embrace life as artists and musicians. Gibson was working in his family’s business, so he had some more flexibility when it came to playing shows. It also helped that his father was on board with the idea of 49 Winchester from the get-go. For 12 years, Isaac’s dad has been selling merchandise at shows (he still does to this day), and even drove the band’s van in the early days. He’s never missed a show, and Gibson says that he’s really fortunate that his parents have always been in full support of what he does: “I lucked out that I had really supportive parents. I got that gene for loving words and loving writing from my mother, who is also a great singer. Outside of that, no real musical ability or talent in the family. It was just something that I kind of happened onto, but they were super supportive of it from day one.” Considering Isaac’s mom and dad had never heard him really sing or play before 49 Winchester’s first ever show, that makes their support that much more impressive. In fact, no one had ever heard Gibson sing or play prior to the inaugural 49 Winchester concert. The band’s frontman told us that his parents may have snuck a listen here and there through the walls of the family home, but other than that, the only people who had witnessed his singing ability were a couple of his bandmates: “Most of my music and most of my first songs that I wrote were played very much in private, like in my bedroom, closed door. Upstairs, they could hear it from downstairs. It was never like, ‘Hey, let me show you this’ or anything. They were always still very supportive of it.  Actually, the first time that anybody ever heard me sing was the first 49 show. It was the first time I ever sang in front of people, besides Chase and Bus, my first bandmates.” That seems pretty wild, does it not? However, it’s just a testament to the somewhat blind support that Gibson received from his parents. From what he remembers, they just saw how much he cared about making music and writing songs and decided to get fully behind him instead of questioning him or pushing him towards the family business: “They just saw the amount of time I put in it and the amount of joy that it brought me, and I think if you are a parent, that’s really a recipe for success. If a kid is willing to pour their heart into something, and it brings them a lot of joy, that’s something that can stick and can work and really grow and blossom. So it’s cool that they saw that.” @whiskeyriff Listen to the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast. @49 Winchester #whiskeyriff #whiskeyriffraff ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff You can hear Isaac Gibson talk more about his upbringing, and how he kept his musical abilities a secret, by downloading the podcast on Apple Podcasts by searching “Whiskey Riff Raff” or by clicking here.

HARDY was tugging at the heartstrings of Stephen Wilson Jr. with the end-of-tour gift that he thought up. The “Father’s Son” singer is close to wrapping up his tour dates for 2025. Two of his big, almost finale shows have taken place at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. It was last night that Wilson Jr. rattled the pews of the Ryman with his raucous live show, and he’s got one more show on there tonight (November 24) in case you are in the Nashville area and want to score a last-minute ticket. Considering who you ask, Stephen Wilson Jr. might be in the midst of his official breakout. I’ve been a big fan of his ever since he dropped his EP Bon Aqua in 2023, so I saw his time in the spotlight at the 2025 CMA Awards (his acoustic performance of “Stand By Me” really turned some heads) as a long-time coming for the talented and unique artist. And Stephen Wilson Jr. continues to create memorable, lasting musical moments like that one. During his Ryman show, the 46-year-old brought out his good friend HARDY – who has helped him a lot early in Wilson Jr.’s career – to help him sing “Father’s Son.” HARDY shared a video thanking Stephen for the opportunity just a bit ago: @hardyThank you @stephen.wilson.jr for letting me come up and play Father’s Søn with you last night at the Ryman. This is a special song that I will always be honored to sing with you.♬ Father’s Søn – Acoustic – Stephen Wilson Jr. & HARDY That’s a stellar pairing right there. While HARDY was up on stage, Stephen Wilson Jr. brought up the fact that his friend had gotten him a John Mellencamp-created gift as a end of tour present. For those that don’t know, Wilson Jr. and rock-legend John Mellencamp come from the same hometown – Seymour, Indiana. The “Jack & Diane” singer has always been a huge inspiration to him, and Wilson Jr. is also a boxer, like his father before him… so having his musical hero paint a picture of Joe Louis, a boxing icon, is the ultimate one-two punch: “He gave me the coolest after-tour gift that I’ve ever seen given on planet Earth. He gave it to me while we were setting up earlier today. I’ve done everything I can not to bust out bawling. I’ve got a Chernobyl level break down waiting to happen after all this is over. This man brought a painting of Joe Louis painted by John Mellencamp. If you know me, you know what that means to me. It’ll go up as the centerpiece of my house. It’ll be what everyone sees when they walk in my house… there’s not enough gratitude for a present that good.”  What a beautiful, thoughtful gift from HARDY. Clearly those two guys mean a lot to one another, and it was cool to see them share the stage at the historic venue. Like I said earlier, Stephen Wilson Jr. has one more show at the Ryman tonight, and then has two more shows to finish out the year (December 4 at the BEYON Al Dana Amphitheatre in Zallaq, Bahrain, followed by a December 11 date in Las Vegas, Nevada at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan). If you can’t catch him at any of those shows, you are in luck… he’s got plenty of dates lined up for 2026. 2026 Tour Dates: 1/27-1/31: Key West, FL – Mile 0 Festival * 2/17: Houston, TX – White Oak Music Hall 2/26: Tulsa, OK – BOK Center ^ 2/27: Fort Worth, TX – Dickies Arena ^ 2/28: Austin, TX – Moody Center ^ 3/6: Columbus, OH – KEMBA Live! # 3/7: Grand Rapids, MI – GLC Live at 20 Monroe # 3/10: Cleveland, OH – The Agora # 3/11: Detroit, MI – The Fillmore # 3/14: Toronto, ON – HISTORY # 3/18: Boston, MA – Citizens House of Blues # 3/21: Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Paramount # 3/22: Port Chester, NY – The Capitol Theatre # 3/25: Philadelphia, PA – The Fillmore # 3/28: Silver Spring, MD – The Fillmore # 4/11: Bossier City, LA – The Paradise Theater at Margaritaville Bossier City # 4/15: St. Louis, MO – The Pageant # 4/17: Kansas City, MO – The Midland Theatre # 4/18: Denver, CO – Mission Ballroom # 4/22: Omaha, NE – Steelhouse Omaha # 4/24: Madison, WI – The Sylvee # 4/25: Chicago, IL – The Salt Shed # 6/6: Lexington, KY – Railbird Music Festival * 7/18: Whitefish, MT – Under the Big Sky Festival * * – Festival # – Gary The Torch tour ^ – Supporting Eric ChurchThe post Stephen Wilson Jr. Was Nearly Brought To Tears By Hardy’s End-Of-Tour Gift: “Not Enough Gratitude For A Present That Good”  first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
