Snipe Hunter cements Tyler Childers’ status as an American original: a songwriter with a strong
grasp of Appalachian tradition, a storyteller alive to the hard-bitten humor and absurdity of
country life, and a singer who jumps from a feral growl to an intimate croon in less time that it
takes him to reload. With the latest album release, Childers further establishes himself as “one
of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press), as he puts
forth a collection of thirteen songs that showcases the signature artistry he’s cultivated
throughout his esteemed career, while continuing to push his own creative boundaries.
Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick
Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, the project consists mostly of brand-new songs in
addition to fan favorites, “Oneida” and “Nose on the Grindstone,” the latter of which just
achieved Childers’ best week ever at country radio with over 40 adds.
“One of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone), Childers has released five
acclaimed albums to date including his 2017 RIAA Platinum debut, Purgatory, 2019’s #1 Country
Squire and 2023’s Rustin’ In The Rain, which debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200
chart. The record features seven tracks including the 2x Grammy, VMA and ACM-nominated
single, “In Your Love,” which, since its release, has garnered over 13.7 million video views, 215
million on-demand streams and received overwhelming praise from outlets such as NPR
Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Pitchfork, Stereogum and many more. Childers has
also performed countless sold-out shows across the world and been featured on CBS
Mornings, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth
Meyers, NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.
Known for his electric live shows, Childers and his band The Food Stamps—James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle)—will tour through this fall with his extensive “Tyler Childers On The Road Tour,” which includes upcoming stops New York’s Forest Hills Stadium (two nights), Nashville’s GEODIS Park (two nights) and London’s O2 Arena among many others.
