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 Mh3195 on 12/24/19Tabernacle presented by Cricket Wireless - AtlantaThe show was fantastic, but I miss the old days when it was just a group of guys singing, having fun, and telling stories/jokes. I can’t help but blame Sony for this. Everything sounds so polished now.

by Stephf54 on 12/23/19The Fillmore Charlotte presented by Cricket Wireless - CharlotteThis was my 3rd time seeing Tyler Childers & the Food Stamps in 2 months. They sounded great and had an awesome set list, 5 stars. The Fillmore Charlotte gets 2 stars. They oversold for capacity and it was very uncomfortably overcrowded. The usual yelling drunks were screaming in my ear over Tyler all night but you couldn’t move or you’d be stuck at the very back of the bus behind the 7 foot tall guys in front🙄. 2 of our friends left during the opening act and didn’t bother coming back in because of the stifling crowd. This will be our last time at the Fillmore. We’ll venture out of town for Tyler Childers next time!

by Linds on 12/22/19The Fillmore Charlotte presented by Cricket Wireless - CharlotteMy husband and I went to the Tyler Childers concert. He was amazing live! We love his music. The chick in front of him was terrible but we were glad someone else was still playing bc the line to get into the filmore was crazy! I think they triple oversold these tickets. Way to many people for the room. Fire code? Security was thorough, I assumed that was the reason for the long line, I was definitely ok with. The bathrooms were very clean! Great concert because, Tyler Childers, but all the people will make you hot and sick.

by K. on 12/22/19The Fillmore Charlotte presented by Cricket Wireless - Charlottethe show itself was great. however the venue is the worst in charlotte. it took 45 minutes to get inside. seems like they’re really pushing the fast pass entry to get more money. layout of the fillmore is terrible and if they oversell tickets, finding somewhere to see the actual stage is almost impossible. so if it’s a show you have to see, go to the fillmore. if not, save yourself the hassle.

by Dan on 12/21/19The Ritz - RaleighThe sound was terrible at the Fillmore. Most people there were drunk and talked most of the time or would sing louder than Tyler. Annoying that I couldn’t transfer my Fast Lane Passes, so I had to eat those tickets. Otherwise Tyler looked great and what I could hear he sounded good.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing performance.
by Graybear on 12/21/19The Ritz - RaleighHe was clearly frustrated with the sound on stage. The venue has lousy acoustics. He will never be back there anyway now the he has exploded.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Better before he blew up
by Ben on 12/21/19The Ritz - RaleighVenue was way too packed. We were asked to stand back on the wall upstairs to keep the isle clear. Meanwhile, this 6'8" tree stood in front of my wife. After I handled that issue we had a good time. Cover band is terrible and Tyler didnt play long enough. Cats Cradle was much better.

by DaveNY on 12/14/19The Fillmore Philadelphia presented by Cricket Wireless - PhiladelphiaPerformance was awesome. He and the band are dynamic and very talented. The venue had issues. Why did I pay $10 per ticket for a speed pass when the venue did not accept it.

by Ashley Ouellette on 12/14/19The Fillmore Philadelphia presented by Cricket Wireless - PhiladelphiaThis is my second time seeing Tyler Childers in Philadelphia and I would see him play every year if I could. I was blown away by how many people knew every word and sang along as well as his live singing is just as incredible as his recorded work.

by smc325 on 12/11/19REBEL - TorontoTyler Childers songwriting stands out in the country world amidst solo cups, beer, and pickup trucks. His music is superior to the meaningless drivel of radio pop-country. His performance is energetic yet meaningful.

by Reen on 12/10/19The Fillmore Detroit presented by Cricket Wireless - DetroitFar too many tickets were sold for general admission. Such tight quarters made people hostile and multiple fights broke out. Security took too long to get to the fighting. No one was kicked out for the fighting. With all the commotion I couldn’t hear Tyler Childers for 1/2 of the concert. This has nothing to do with Tyler Childers himself because I’ve seen him multiple times and he always puts on a great show and sounds fantastic, but I absolutely hate the Fillmore and always have a poor experience there.

by Phil on 12/9/19The Fillmore Detroit presented by Cricket Wireless - DetroitTyler and the band were great, however, the venue was over-sold for a general admission show. No seats available and no standing was allowed. We had to keep walking around the entire show. Poor planning

Rating: 5 out of 5 Tyler Childers is Awesome!
by Jorgofthejungl on 12/8/19Old National Centre - IndianapolisTyler is always a great show and the song set is always different. Tyler is truly a Real artist who stays true to his roots. Every song he sings sounds as great as the recording if not better. The Egyptian room is a very cool venue with comfortable seating and a historic feel. The alcohol prices are reasonable and they even have some food before the show.
