Well not a household name yet but is going to play bug area's. I get to see him up close and personal later this summer. Got an invite to a little get together at a friend's house. Around 50 people and Tyler won't play the whole time.
Okay tell me just how big Tyler Childers will get
- Thread starter sistersville
- Start date
Dude had his picture taken with Riflearm. He will be at 1 million YouTube hits in no time.
Depends on his diet and exercise I suppose.
Rifle posted a pic of Tyler in times square. Had I not mentioned Tyler would Rifle have went to a country show? I know good music. Lived through the Beatles and the rock movement through the 70's. Seen it all.
Tyler just sold out Red Rocks in two hours. There will be a huge cloud of dank smoke over the Rockies that night.
Wait for the new outlaw tour Tyler and Sturgill and Chris Stapleton. Most times when Tyler is close to Lexington he state's with Chris's mom's.

Tyler Childers
“I always wanted to go to Forecastle. This year I got me a ticket.”
That’s what Eastern Kentucky alt-country singer-songwriter Tyler Childers joked to the crowd from the Main Stage on Sunday evening. There is a bit of truth in the quip. He’s a relative newcomer to big stages and festival limelight, even though he’s spent years living in and playing music in the area. In 2017, Childers played a 400-capacity venue in Louisville. A year later, he sold out The Louisville Palace, a 2,600-person theater, for three night in a row. Yesterday, he had the second last set on the Mast Stage, with only The Avett Brothers performing there after him.
The catalyst for his success was his latest album, 2017’s Purgatory, which he played quite a bit from during his Forecastle set, including opening with “Whitehouse Road.” With a wild-eyed gaze, a booming voice and a band that lives on the modern outlaw edge of honky-tonk, Childers delivered one of the best sets of the festival.
Like Sturgill Simpson, who produced Purgatory, Childers’ sound hits new highs live, with the range and the raw power shining. It’s smokey dive bar throwback country that translates to a big, open field down by the river. The age range of the fans was one of the widest I had seen at any set of the weekend. And just like Sturgill, or Jason Isbell, or Margo Price, or any of the other innovative young alt-country singers who have exploded onto the scene, Childers and his band have a thoughtful earnestness and undeniable talent that’s refreshing and exciting. And it seems like everyone is listening. —Scott Recker
