TYLER CHILDERS

Tyler Childers’ latest release, Snipe Hunter, cemented his status as an American original: a songwriter with a strong grasp of Appalachian tradition, a storyteller alive to the hard-bitten humor and absurdity of country life, and a singer who jumps from a feral growl to an intimate croon in less time that it takes him to reload. With the latest album release, Childers further establishes himself as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press), as he puts forth a collection of thirteen songs that showcases the signature artistry he’s cultivated throughout his esteemed career, while continuing to push his own creative boundaries.

Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, the project consists mostly of brand-new songs in addition to fan favorites, “Oneida” and “Nose on the Grindstone,” the latter of which just achieved Childers’ best week ever at country radio with over 40 adds.

“One of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone), Childers has released five acclaimed albums to date including his 2017 RIAA Platinum debut, Purgatory, 2019’s #1 Country Squire and 2023’s Rustin’ In The Rain, which debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The record features seven tracks including the 2x Grammy, VMA and ACM-nominated single, “In Your Love,” which, since its release, has garnered over 13.7 million video views, 215 million on-demand streams and received overwhelming praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Pitchfork, Stereogum and many more. Childers has also performed countless sold-out shows across the world and been featured on CBS Mornings, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers, NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Known for his electric live shows, Childers and his band The Food Stamps—James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle)—will tour through this fall with his extensive “Tyler Childers On The Road Tour,” which includes upcoming stops New York’s Forest Hills Stadium (two nights), Nashville’s GEODIS Park (two nights) and London’s O2 Arena among many others.
