Tyler Childers built his career by turning the stories and sounds of Lawrence County, Kentucky, into songs that feel as real as the people who live there. He grew up with a father who worked in the coal industry and a mother who worked as a nurse, sang in church as a child, and began writing songs during his early teenage years. After graduating from Paintsville High School in 2009, he spent brief periods at Western Kentucky University and Bluegrass Community and Technical College before leaving school, working a series of jobs, and concentrating on music. Years of performing around Kentucky and West Virginia, often with the Food Stamps, gave him the space to sharpen his voice as both a writer and performer.

Childers self-released his first studio album, Bottles and Bibles, in 2011. He also recorded two appearances for the Lexington program Red Barn Radio, later collected as Live on Red Barn Radio I & II. Those sessions introduced songs including “Shake the Frost,” “Deadman’s Curve,” “Charleston Girl,” “Coming Down,” and “Follow You to Virgie,” capturing the blend of country, bluegrass, folk, and Appalachian storytelling that would define his early work.

His national breakthrough came with the 2017 album Purgatory. Produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson, the record included “Feathered Indians,” “Whitehouse Road,” “Lady May,” “Universal Sound,” and “I Swear (To God).” It reached number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and helped Childers earn Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2018 Americana Music Honors and Awards. During his acceptance speech, he rejected the Americana label and identified himself directly as a country singer.

Childers followed Purgatory with Country Squire in 2019. The album’s songs returned to working life, marriage, isolation, travel, and the difficulties of building a career far from home. “All Your’n” earned his first Grammy nomination, while the acoustic Reimagined release offered new versions of “Lady May,” “Creeker,” and “Help Me Make It Through.”

In 2020, Childers released Long Violent History, a predominantly instrumental collection of traditional fiddle tunes ending with a title track about racism, violence, and empathy. Net proceeds from the album supported the Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund, which Childers and Senora May established that year to bring financial support and attention to philanthropic work throughout Appalachia. The album later received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album.

Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven? arrived in 2022 as a three-part project presenting the same eight songs in Hallelujah, Jubilee, and Joyful Noise versions. Its gospel-centered writing and dramatically different arrangements expanded the spiritual and musical questions already running through his catalog. The album received the Americana Music Honors and Awards prize for Album of the Year.

Childers returned in 2023 with Rustin’ in the Rain, a seven-song record featuring “In Your Love,” “Phone Calls and Emails,” “Percheron Mules,” and his version of “Help Me Make It Through the Night.” “In Your Love” became one of his most visible recordings, supported by a Silas House-written video centered on two male coal miners in 1950s Kentucky. The album and its songs earned five Grammy nominations across country, Americana, and music-video categories.

His seventh studio album, Snipe Hunter, was released on July 25, 2025. Produced by Rick Rubin, the thirteen-song record combined long-awaited studio recordings including “Nose on the Grindstone” and “Oneida” with new material such as “Eatin’ Big Time,” “Bitin’ List,” “Tirtha Yatra,” and “Snipe Hunt.” At the 2026 Grammy Awards, “Bitin’ List” won Best Country Song, giving Childers his first Grammy Award. Snipe Hunter and “Nose on the Grindstone” were also nominated, as was his Margo Price collaboration “Love Me Like You Used To Do.”

Childers’ officially released catalog extends beyond his seven studio albums. It includes the Red Barn Radio and OurVinyl sessions, the Reimagined acoustic recordings, soundtrack songs, benefit-album performances, Spotify sessions, and collaborations with Colter Wall, Town Mountain, Bobby Weir and Wolf Bros, Margo Price, and Cory Branan.
