New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer
Tyler Childers will embark on an extensive, nationwide tour this fall with headline performances in his largest rooms and venues to date. Stops include Brooklyn's Brooklyn Bowl, Philadelphia's Union Transfer, Washington D.C.'s 9:30 Club, San Francisco's The Fillmore and L.A.'s The Troubadour among several others. Tickets go on-sale this Friday, June 8 at 10:00am local time. See below for complete details.
These shows celebrate a breakthrough year for Childers, which saw the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Purgatory. The record-produced by
Sturgill Simpson and
David Ferguson-landed on multiple "Best of 2017" lists including Rolling Stone, Vice's Noisey, Wide Open Country and NPR Music, who praised, "The intimacy he conjures is his gift, in this private moment made universal, and throughout his remarkable official debut." Additionally, Childers is nominated for "Emerging Artist of the Year" at the 2018 Americana
Music Association Honors & Awards and also made his Grand Ole Opry debut earlier this spring.
Along with Childers (vocals, acoustic guitar), the album features a variety of world-renowned musicians including Simpson (acoustic guitar, background vocals),
Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Miles Miller (drums, background vocals) and Russ Pahl (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel, Jew's harp) among others.
Of the album, the Lawrence Country, KY native comments, "I am extremely grateful for Miles Miller introducing me to Sturgill Simpson, and also for Sturgill and
David Ferguson taking the time to work with me. I think we both wanted to make an album for east KY, and I reckon that's what we did. It's not about rock, or grass, or country...it's just hollerin' in the mountains and stirring shit up! The band Sturgill and
David put together was an all-star cast, and an honor to work with and learn from. I hope to do it again, but once is more than most are blessed with. For that I am thankful."
