Tyler Childers

Know Before You Go:

Hailing from the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, Tyler Childers is part of a wave of 2010s Americana artists who prize authenticity both in their songs and sound. Sonically, he borrows heavily from the weathered, ornery, progressive country records of the 1970s, a comparison brought into sharp relief on his second album, 2017’s Purgartory, which was produced by the acclaimed Americana rocker Sturgill Simpson. Childers’ success continued with a Grammy nomination for “All Your’n,” and the hit single “House Fire.”  He returned in September 2020 with his fourth full-length, the Grammy-nominated Long Violent History, a politically-charged bluegrass album, which topped the folk chart and hit number 45 on the Billboard 200. September 2022 saw the release of ahead of Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, a triple album that featured a set of eight original songs performed in three different ways: a live set, an overdubbed rendition, and a “Joyful Noise” version. Upon its release in September 2022, “Hounds” became Childers’ highest-charting album, debuting at eight on the Billboard Top 200.
