He put on a great show! Sounds amazing live. Can't wait to see again!
Stephen puts on a great show! 2 hours non stop. Then stuck around and signed autographs at the edge of the stage afterwards. A great show from an amazing musician!
I saw Stephen open for Eric Church three nights in a row at Red Rocks. He was incredible! Great music, lyrics and stage presence. He’s one of my favorites ever since! Can’t wait to see him again.
I saw SWJ open for Hardy twice and this show at The Sound was even better than I could have imagined. He’s a true artist, so incredibly gifted and quite the character. I cannot wait for his new album and for the next tour!!
Stephen is an amazing artist with so much soul and feeling behind his music. The venue was great as we have been before we always enjoy the sound. The show was entertaining and we had so much fun!
Stephen and Lily were amazing but unfortunately The Sound has terrible Sound. Its not a proper music venue. The layout is also terrible. No visible merch tables, two bars located on the sides of the venue and thats it. Not sure ill be going back. San Diego really lacks good music venues.
What a great show. Saw him when he opened for Hardy a few months ago. This was a completely different show. Cool venue too.
The evening started with an incredible opening act, then Stephen Wilson Jr. came on stage and delivered an outstanding performance. The atmosphere was relaxed music was on point. Best part was the Los Angeles Dodger won the World Series in the middle of a song and the crowed lost its marbles! Insane! The show was wonderful, totally recommend seeing Stephen Wilson Jr. !!!
If you want a fantastic experience of an amazing guitar player go see Stephen Wilson Jr. He is so engaging and gracious to his fans. You can tell he loves what he does.
I’m a Stephen Wilson Jr fan for life. What a terrific show. He is an incredibly talented guitarist and his unique voice coupled with the depth of his songwriting creates something magical. The band was also very talented. Love Channel 24 as a venue.
Amazing venue and an amazing performance. He sounds just as good in person. Can’t wait to see him again! Great artist to see live.
Fantastic concert. He is a very good entertainer. I've been to many concerts and this one definitely stands out as among my favorites. Can't wait to see him again!
My guests and I were really looking forward to hearing SWJr as we have heard him on recordings. He has a unique guitar style and voice that I love. Unfortunately, the distortion and reverberation were up so high that we couldn’t hear his guitar through the sustained and distorted notes. His vocals were too quiet compared to the rest of the band. At many points we had to put our fingers in our ears because of how harmful the loud noise was. The artist is great and we just wish we could have heard him more than we did. There were many people that left the concert early and we couldn’t even stand to stay for his encore - I’d venture to say at least 100 people left immediately after his “last” song and many more throughout the concert. Scale back the distortion and reverb Stephen!
Love love love love it was jamming, opener was great Cassandra Coleman. Stephen so so great and funny. He’s such a unique talented guy I was so excited to go.
Saw SWJr at Hershey Park when he toured with Hardy. He played maybe 4 songs. It was beyond disappointing. He was the only reason we bought the tickets to begin with. His performance was everything (and then some) that we had hoped for and expected, however! Will absolutely see him as often as possible!
Stephen Wilson Jr was the best show I've seen in a long time! We travelled all the way from New Brunswick, Canada to see him! 5 hours of driving and it was worth every minute! As a bonus, we had Lunch at Bernies Beach Bar and watched him do sound-check before the show. He came out with Mighty Beast and kept the vibe going for the rest of the show! Pure singer, songwriter and entertainer! His songs and words really hit home for me....can't wait to see him play again!
Stephen Wilson Jr put on a GREAT show. It would have been better if it was at a GREAT venue like MGM at Fenway. Bernies was WAY too crowded...barley any room to stand....stage was too low....could hardly see the performers even for me (6 feet tall). BUT STEPHEN WAS GREAT!!!
Stephen Wilson Jr and band: A++ (epic musician and songwriter) The venue: B (sound way to loud for such a small venue but perfect place to see SWJ)
Overall a great show. A little overpowering on the drums… drowned out Wilson’s voice and guitar prowess much of the evening
We had a great time at the SW Jr. show. He impressed in all aspects of the concert. He played his top songs and even through in a Nirvana cover that was awesome. Can’t wait until he comes around again.
