Summary

Nineties country sounds are hot right now in Nashville, but Stephen Wilson Jr. works in a different style of Nineties nostalgia: grunge. The songwriter-guitarist celebrates the era in his original song “Year to Be Young 1994,” covers Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” during his concerts, and has previously described his music as “Death Cab for Country.” On Saturday at Ohana Fest in Dana Point, California, Wilson cemented his status as a grunge-country pioneer when he performed Temple of the Dog ’s “Hunger Strike” with Eddie Vedder himself.
