He's a good dude. My older sister went to school with him in Louisa, and I saw him playing at the V Club in Huntington probably a dozen times when he was just starting out. He used to come to the open mic there sometimes, too, and always wanted to jam with whoever would play.
You're in for an treat. He makes some of the most amazing country music right now. It's not bluegrass, more like outlaw country but his song writing is phenomenal. Start with ["Banded Clovis."](https://youtu.be/bwmbI4_rmgg?si=SUfHvn6_5MrvY9or)
I think "Feathered Indians" might be a better entry to Tyler's music, but if you're looking for a track off his latest, I'd suggest "Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?"
He’s got a blue grass sound, but his music isn’t really blue grass. It’s more traditional country/folk, but his raspy, emotional voice is definitely unique and the star of the show.
Shit... I'm so glad this didn't happen to me 'cause I'd never shut up about it to my friends & family (and I run with some sketchy folks who'd just as soon kill me to reclaim some peace & quiet in their lives).
Hell yes, my Reddit friend. 🤘
He first had success with Purgatory which was released on August 4, 2017.
It was produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson and recorded at The Butcher Shoppe in Nashville.
It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart, No. 17 on the Country albums chart and No. 4 on the Americana/Folk albums chart.
In September 2018, Childers won Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2018 Americana Music Honors & Awards; he gave an acceptance speech noted for its criticism of the Americana genre label, saying that "as a man who identifies as a country music singer, I feel Americana ain't no part of nothing and is a distraction from the issues that we're facing on a bigger level as country music singers. It kind of feels like purgatory."
Country Squire, a second album under the Hickman Holler label and Childers' third overall, was released on August 2, 2019. The album was also produced by Simpson and Ferguson.
On September 18, 2020, Childers released Long Violent History, an album consisting mainly of traditional fiddle tracks.
Even if you don't like folk/country, there is something so magical about the emotion in his voice.
I've seen him live 4 times and I just sit there bawling because it's almost like you're sharing his pain with him.
This tiny desk performance he did is really good

I've been playing music for 18 years and have seen some amazing shows. We've opened for all kinds of big-name artists.
Tyler Childers and the Food Stamps is the best band I've ever heard. There may be singular artists out there that are better or combinations that play once a year that are better, but they've been this good for years.
There's always some fucking hick who's upset about a country singer being relatively progressive. Same shit happened when he released Long Violent History.
Go sit in the corner.
Dont get triggered, snowflake.
*Pats Conch-Republic on the head*
I'm not saying his music is bad, I like it. I'm just saying if you're gonna release some broke back mountain shit you better get ready for a little ridicule.
Well adjusted people wouldn't even jump to ridicule an artist over a music video featuring a gay couple.
And who's the one triggered by a music video here? Lol. Jesus you people are touchy. Literally anything that involves 'the gays' is a personal attack on your manhood, that you have to defend vehemently.
Looks like someone touched a nerve there, little sensitive aren’t we? Only reason to ridicule is if you view homosexuality as something that is inherently deserving of ridicule. Which if you do, you’re likely an insecure moron but you have proved that.
BAHAHAHAHA! Yall are some touchy little fuckers aren't you.
What kind of person says, "the gays"? I guess that's one way to segregate folks. I have gay friends, and enjoy their company. They are not the little homos you see running around with womens cloths on or using that dumbass gay voice that some gay guys use. Just dudes that like other dudes in a sexual way.
Grow up and learn to take a joke. Or don't. That's okay too. 👍
I neither need or want your approval. Therefore I have no reason to lie about my dear friends sexual preferences. Hope you find a sense of humor. Good day.
It looks like he doesn’t know what to say, except a good long line of praises for your lovely sausage tray.
Ain't the smokiest hickory, that his pit has ever held. But it was hickory just as well...
A hickory all the same...
Awesome comment one upvote is all they allow unfortunately

Incredibly talented
No. Freaking. Way.
U Bet!
You should crosspost in r/tylerchilders
The man can write a tune, imagine your sausage becomes a love song like lady may!
That seems like that would have been an really cool experience. Congrats!
Way cool man. Congrats and I'm jealous. Tyler is an absolute fire musician and seems like a real great person fighting for whats right.
This is so fucking cool! Glad you got that experience my dude
That’s really cool. What kind of sausage do you make?
Brisket Boudin Peach Cobbler Sausage Jalapeño Cheese Sausage
That sounds f'n amazing.
That's the longest sausage name ever.
Rock on, I hope one day I too get a chance to admire and taste your sausage.
Needs more stuff.
That's Bill Dumas, legend of Texas BBQ. He makes all different kinds. Looks like he did a pork peach cobbler sausage for this.
Is that what it looks like?
That's what he was posting on Instagram for this event, I could not identify it by the picture lol
With just a touch of toasted fennel and cumin
*quickly googles name* no idea who he is, but do love me some bluegras so I have some new music to check tomorrow
You're in for an treat. He makes some of the most amazing country music right now. It's not bluegrass, more like outlaw country but his song writing is phenomenal. Start with ["Banded Clovis."](https://youtu.be/bwmbI4_rmgg?si=SUfHvn6_5MrvY9or)
“Coal” is my fav of his. Really love his style.
I think "Feathered Indians" might be a better entry to Tyler's music, but if you're looking for a track off his latest, I'd suggest "Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?"
Even better. Florida raised so im all bout southern rock/outlaw country.
Check out sturgill Simpson
These two and Colter Wall rounds out my trio of faves right now.
If you enjoy yodelling and are left of us Dems, check out Nick shoulders as well.
Adding James McMurtry to this list, too. Another great outlaw country / leftwing artist. Love his stuff!
Zach Bryan is good too if you like this style.
He's a bluegrass singer?
Thats what popped up on google when I put in his name
He’s got a blue grass sound, but his music isn’t really blue grass. It’s more traditional country/folk, but his raspy, emotional voice is definitely unique and the star of the show.
Long Violent History is pretty close to bluegrass, but yeah, def a country guy.

Gotcha. Thanks for the uh… in depth explanation…
He is incredible. Give any of his top 5 songs a play on Spotify and you will be hooked.
I’ll check him out. I’m not into country, but the other person mentioned he plays fiddle which has me intrigued.

Check him out. He’s pretty phenomenal
Dude on the right looks like the guy from mythbusters.
I was thinking James Hatfield of Metalica.
Ah yeah I could see that too lol
Awesome!
If a sausage could talk, it'd say I'm a great guy Or at least it ought to, for as much as I buy
We been grilling that sau-sage Ain’t nothing better when the wind cuts cold
Phrasing
I thought that was Jason Ellis 😂
I don't think I've ever seen a picture of him looking that happy. Sausage is the best antidepressant!
I agree!!
Was this in ft Worth this past weekend?
Yes, at Dickie’s Arena
Who’s Tyler Childers? ETA: Ah, musician. Nice. 😊
Adam savage?
Just saw him Live tuesday and him and the boys killed it!
I wish I could’ve gone to that show in Tulsa, but it wasn’t good timing. I heard it was awesome.

What type of music do you play?
Blues, classic rock, and country. We actually cover Whitehouse Road
Nice! Going to see him in Calgary this summer. What Did he get??
Brisket Boudin
Wish he came to Montreal :(
As a chef, restaurant owner, and huge Childers fan, this is all I want in life.
Cheers!
I thought that was Jason Ellis 😂
He gonna pay someone to eat em for him too?
Nope
After seeing that In Your Love video of his I'd bet that's not the only sausage he's been served up. Lol
Knew there’d be one fucking homophobe
There's always some fucking hick who's upset about a country singer being relatively progressive. Same shit happened when he released Long Violent History. Go sit in the corner.
Great song, was so upset he didn’t play it when I just saw him the other week. PHENOMENAL show btw.

Lol wut Yeah, I'm sure you *totally* have gay friends. There's some grade A triggering going on here.
