Stephen Wilson Jr. has been awarded his first ACM Award for Visual Media of the Year for his “Cuckoo” official video, which he co-directed with his longtime creative collaborator Tim Cofield.

Wilson Jr. was surprised with the award by ACM Head of Artist Relations Haley Montgomery at WXPN’s NON-COMMvention yesterday (May 6).

Wilson Jr.’s latest single “Gary” just broke the top 40 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. He recently wrapped the entirely sold-out first leg of his “Gary The Torch Tour” and announced a second leg with added West Coast, Southeast and international dates. In between headline dates, he will support Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge Amphitheater and Brandi Carlile at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
