Tyler Childers

Childers surprise-released a mostly instrumental album on Friday (Sept. 18).

Childers also has a new version of "House Fire," with the Travelin’ McCourys.

Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers are rescheduling some of their 2020 A Good Look'n Tour dates due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Childers rounded up some of Lawrence County, Ky.'s finest musical exports for his Saturday night (Feb. 15) Ryman Auditorium show.
