About
With a few words, Tyler Childers can build worlds.
A plain-spoken poet for the dreams and struggles of a working class, his music takes listeners to real places - backroad church pews, sticky-hot swimming holes and freshly-plowed farm fields, to name a few. Childers' melodies feel lived-in, like joining a circle of familiar faces in a well-worn basement or on a shaded porch, the gathering place for folks of all kinds to share truths or swap tall tales after a long day.
Since he emerged from the hills of Appalachia, Childers has stormed the world with his uncompromising voice and a candid collection of songs. He skyrocketed from playing inside sweat-soaked clubs to becoming one of today's most sought-after artists. With his longtime band, The Food Stamps, Childers headlines historic festival stages and delivers high-flying sold-out shows inside arenas, amphitheaters and concert halls across the globe.
And many who time-and-again drop a needle on his music embrace Childers like an author to a new chapter in America's long, revered songbook of country and folk music - a testament to how far a well-told story can travel.
No matter if he's delivering a fiddle tune with a hard-spoken truth or leading his band in an open-armed country-soul sermon, new Childers music arrives with layers of time-tested storytelling. And on his anticipated new album, Rustin' In The Rain, the circle of tales in Childers' catalog grows a little bigger with a fresh collection of big-hearted, wry-humored love songs and dirt-covered country romps.
The 2x Grammy Award-nominated singer, songwriter and musician returned to the studio with The Food Stamps - James Barker (pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitar), Rodney Elkins (drums), Chase Lewis (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle) - to record Rustin'. In a testament to the well-oiled grooves of the group, it's the second consecutive release to be cut and co-produced by Childers alongside the Food Stamps, once again recording at Barker's home studio, Dragline, in Huntington, West Virginia.
With Rustin' In The Rain, the 32-year-old Kentucky native pulled together songs with a playful concept: What would he pitch to Elvis Presley? Graceland-era Presley, to be exact. Listeners hear the result on songs like lead single "In You Love" - a timeless, piano-tinged I'll-wait-for-your-love ballad released alongside a heart-wrenching music video of two men falling for each other in 1950s rural Appalachia - and "Phone Calls & Emails," a story of modern missed connections set to the backdrop of a crooning, classic country tune.
On "Luke 2:8-10," Childers enlists background vocals from a one-of-a-kind trio: Margo Price, Erin Rae and S.G. Goodman, three standout singer-songwriters. The expanded band delivers a rustling three-minute song about a panicked shepherd witnessing the descent of an angel from the heavens. Collaborations on Rustin' continue on "Percheron Mules," a rollicking tune that includes vocals from Ronnie McCoury, Jason Carter and Alan Bartram -members of ace bluegrass band the Travelin' McCourys (McCoury also adds mandolin pickin' to the song).
And for one of two cover songs on Rustin', Childers dug into country music's balladeering catalog to unearth "Help Me Make It Through The Night." He lends his mountainous vocal to the intimate, restless 1970 song, written by Kris Kristofferson and made famous by Sammi Smith's Grammy Award-winning rendition (Presley also covered the song during a 1971 session at RCA Studio B in Nashville). To close the album, Childers covers "Space & Time," a song penned by Goodman - a fellow Kentuckian - that chronicles the need to share moments with those you hold most dear. Goodman and Rae rejoin Childers for backing vocals on the album-closing number.
Still, no new song may whip Childers' show-going audience into a frenzy like "Rustin' In The Rain," the barnstormin' opening track anchored by dueling country licks and Childers' band-leading howl - a nod to the tight-knit creatively he and the Food Stamps earned during late nights on stage and long trips on the road.
With Rustin' In The Rain, Childers pens the next chapter in an unrivaled and unreplicable story of real-life success that continues to reach new circles. And the best part? This tale's just getting started.

by Louise on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsTyler Childers was so fantastic! He put on a great show with such enthusiasm. He is one person that sounds even better in person than his albums. I would absolutely see him again. Marcus King was a great start! He sounded amazing. Venue was awesome, not a bad seat.

by BeckyW on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsTyler Childers has the most amazing voice. The show, though his biggest personal crowd, felt like it was personal. I loved the way he started it more acoustically, because that is how most of us got to know him. Obviously, there were a couple of favorite songs missing, but though I could listen to him for a lot longer, he couldn't possibly have sung all of the great songs we love.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great venue, GOAT Artist
by Philip F on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsFirst of all, Hollywood Casino Amphitheater was great. Everything feels nice and new, plenty of bathrooms and they are clean. Seating options are great, not a bad seat in the house. Tyler Childers was at his best and was absolutely incredible. You can agree or disagree, but my opinion is that he’s the greatest live artist of all time. The man has a perfect voice with zero imperfections and it is amazing to experience it live. The Food Stamps were absolutely insane and deserve just as much applause.

by Blake on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsConcert was great. Tyler did an amazing job. Parking was a nightmare. When it takes over 2 1/2 hours to get out of the parking lot when you were one of the first people to the car that’s an issue.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Kick Ass Concert
by Snikki on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsThe entire concert was a blast. What I loved but was shocked by was how people were sitting and really enjoying Miles Brown who was the opening band. Usually when the 1st act comes on everyone is scattered around drinking and mingling. Not this time. He got prob 3/4 of the crowd including me and my boyfriend. And come on Marcus King was amazing as usual. Then there was good ole Tyler Childers which was so damn awesome to watch. The stay at the Amphitheatre casino hotel was just as amazing. The after party there was so much fun. Definitely something we plan on doing many more times

by Musicbuff on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsThe only reason that I didn’t give 5⭐️ is the ticket resale policies of Live Nation. The venue was good, smooth entry/exit, plenty of food and beverage options, reasonable lines. The entertainment was the best live show that I’ve seen.

by Trent Wood on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsTyler put on the most amazing show I've ever seen! He took the entire sold out crowd to church! It was such a great show that I am worried that anyone else I go see will not live up to the show that he put on. Thanks @TTChilders for such an amazing night which is one I will never forget!
Rating: 3 out of 5 Loved him, Not the venue
by Kay on 6/12/23Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - Maryland HeightsThe venue always seems over-sold and crowded. There’s so many people talking that you can hardly hear the musician. We ended up walking around the food and bathroom places, which is where we could hear the best. Don’t charge that much then oversell.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Left a bad taste in my mouth
by music lover on 5/1/23Greek Theatre-U.C. Berkeley - BerkeleyFor the price of the tickets the seating was horrible. The show was sold out and there was not enough seating for the amount of people. The grass seating was at such an incline I felt like I was going to fall the entire time. Tyler put on an amazing show, but unfortunately I couldn't enjoy it and dance because I thought I was going to tumble and fall the whole show. The venue was a huge venue and with the price of the ticket I thought it would be a more intimate show.
