The extensive tour kicks off in February and includes stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden (two nights), Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (two nights), Inglewood’s Kia Forum, Austin’s Moody Center, Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and London’s Eventim Apollo (two nights) as well as shows in Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and more.

The upcoming performances celebrate Childers’ acclaimed new album, Rustin’ In The Rain (Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records), which recently debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart with 38,500 equivalent units sold—a career-high sales week for Childers. Stream/purchase here.
In celebration of the new record, Childers recently spoke with The New York Times, who praises, “His songs with roots in bluegrass, Southern rock and Appalachian tradition have pushed the boundaries of country music and even his own fan base, while cementing him as one of the most successful touring and streaming artists in his field—without the aid of radio,” and continues, “when he sings live, his eyes burn with the ferocity of a preacher, and fans hang on to every word.”
Critical acclaim for Rustin’ In The Rain:
“Childers is clearly continuing to grow his audience by simply staying true to himself…one of country music’s more interesting, boundary-pushing artists”—Grammy.com
“Childers makes clear that this isn’t a break with country music: It is a light cast on its history, a recognition of what it has been and can become”—Pitchfork
“a singular figure in roots music”—Vulture
“an original artist dedicated to finding new ways to outdo himself”—Associated Press
“Childers is the most essential mainstream country musician working right now”—Paste
“an uncompromising artist, one who lets his art speak for him…Childers is undeniably one of the most successful artists working today.”—The Bitter Southerner
“he’s redefining country music”—The Tennessean
“this is still Tyler operating on a fully-fleshed-out level, with songs and performances that stand tall next to his best”—Brooklyn Vegan
“one of the year’s more vital pure country albums”—PopMatters
“an outstanding singer and songwriter”—No Depression
“He is and will continue to be one of the most talented and important musical forces in American music and his new album is further evidence of this fact”—Americana Highways
“This is a complete body of work, thoughtfully curated, expertly crafted, and the finished product is yet another stellar piece of the Tyler Childers catalog”—Whiskey Riff
The penetrating country singer-songwriter is becoming a total rock star without any radio support…If you are not on this man’s express train to stardom, get on board now”—Music Row
“Childers continues to capture the complexities of rural life as he’s always done, carefully molding each narrative with his calloused hands and knowing heart”—Holler

Ahead of the release, Childers unveiled breakthrough lead single, “In Your Love,” alongside an official music video, which debuted as YouTube’s #1 trending music video. Since then, it has garnered over 6.6 million video views and 30 million on-demand streams along with acclaim from outlets such as NPR Music, Billboard, Pitchfork, Stereogum,Consequence, The Advocate, OUT and Rolling Stone, who praises, “the music video of compassion and caring we need right now,” while USA Today calls the video “a much-needed portrait of inclusivity.” Watch/share the official music video—written/creative directed by Silas House, and starring Colton Haynes and James Scully—HERE and “The Making of ‘In Your Love’,” a special behind-the-scenes look at the video HERE.
Recorded at Dragline Studios, the album was produced by Childers and his longtime band, The Food Stamps—James Barker (pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitar), Rodney Elkins (drums), Chase Lewis (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle).
The new album follows last year’s triple album, Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, which featured eight songs presented in three distinct sonic perspectives—Hallelujah, Jubilee and Joyful Noise. Released to widespread acclaim, Esquire praised, “Who’s doing it better than Childers in roots music these days? No one,” while the Associated Press declared, “fearless exuberance…one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” and NPR Music asserted, “eight songs so good he had to record them thrice.” Before Hounds, Childers released 2020’s Grammy-nominated surprise album, Long Violent History, which NPR Music called an “explicit and remarkable stand in solidarity.” His two previous releases, 2019’s #1 Country Squire as well 2017’s RIAA Platinum debut, Purgatory, were released to overwhelming critical and commercial acclaim. In the years since his debut, Childers has earned two Grammy nominations and has been featured on “CBS This Morning,” “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.”
