Tyler Childers is an American singer-songwriter hailing from the heart of Eastern Kentucky's Appalachian region, where storytelling runs as deep as the coal mines and the tradition of bluegrass and folk music thrives. Born on June 21, 1991, in Lawrence County, Kentucky, Childers has been praised for his vivid storytelling and the raw authenticity of his voice, which carries the weight of a region's history and struggles. His music is a seamless blend of country, bluegrass, and folk, and his lyrics often explore themes of love, loss, and the hardships of rural life.

Childers burst onto the national scene with the release of his breakthrough album "Purgatory" in 2017, which was produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson. The album garnered critical acclaim and established him as a significant force in the country and Americana genres. Following this, he continued to build on his success with albums such as "Country Squire" in 2019, which showcased his ability to craft narratives that resonate deeply with his audience. With his more recent releases, such as "Long Violent History" and the sublime "Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?" Childers has proven himself adept at not just spinning yarns of everyday trials, but also in tackling nuanced social commentary through his music. His live performances, such as the emotive "In Your Love (Live From Radio City Music Hall)," have only served to further solidify Tyler Childers as one of the most compelling artists in the folk and country music scene today.
