Established in 2020 by Childers and Senora May, HHARF brings awareness and financial support for philanthropic efforts in the Appalachian Region. REVERB’s efforts reduce environmental impact in live music, engage fans and fund carbon impact programs to address the impacts of the tour that cannot be eliminated.
The 2026 dates add to yet another triumphant year for Childers, who is nominated for four awards at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards®: Best Contemporary Country Album (Snipe Hunter), Best Country Song (“Bitin’ List”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Nose on the Grindstone”) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Love Me Like You Used To Do” with Margo Price).
Released earlier this year to overwhelming acclaim, Snipe Hunter earned Childers his highest debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart to date (#7) and also entered at #3 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #5 Indie Store Albums, #6 on Vinyl Albums charts and #6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

In celebration of the release, Childers spoke with Marissa Moss for an in-depth profile at GQ, and performed special pop up shows at Nashville’s Turkey and the Wolf and Kentucky’s Dinosaur World, the latter of which The New York Times praised, “The magic was in the happiness of that crowd and in the music itself — the sweet songs and the rocking songs and the searching songs and the funny songs…The magic was in the love flowing back and forth between the people on the stage and the people standing in the dirt.”
Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, the project further establishes Childers as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press), as he puts forth a collection that showcases the
signature artistry he’s cultivated throughout his esteemed career, while continuing to push his own creative boundaries.
In addition to Childers, the record features his band The Food Stamps: James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle).
“One of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone), the 11x Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, musician and performer has released six acclaimed albums to date including his 2017 RIAA Platinum debut, Purgatory, 2019’s #1 Country Squire and 2023’s Rustin’ In The Rain, which debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The record features seven tracks including the 2x Grammy®, VMA and ACM-nominated single, “In Your Love,” which, since its release, has garnered over 13.7 million video views, 215 million on-demand streams and received overwhelming praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Pitchfork, Stereogum and many more. Childers has also performed countless sold-out shows across the world and been featured on CBS Mornings, 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.
Most recently, Childers launched his limited-edition Snipe Hunter Field Watch, designed in collaboration with Cameron Weiss (founder and master watchmaker of Weiss Watch Company), which was inspired by his Appalachian roots and sold out in its first day on sale.

Snipe Hunter cements Tyler Childers’ status as an American original: a songwriter with a strong grasp of Appalachian tradition, a storyteller alive to the hard-bitten humor and absurdity of country life, and a singer who jumps from a feral growl to an intimate croon in less time that it takes him to reload.
Featuring the fan-favorite standout “Nose On The Grindstone” – released as a studio recording for the first time after being a setlist staple in his electric live shows – and several brand-new releases, including the album’s psychedelic rock opener “Eatin’ Big Time” and “Bitin’ List,” which quickly made waves online with its playful, frenzied productions and relatable-yet-razor-sharp lyricism, Snipe Hunter sees Childers take his catalog and fold it into itself, reminding listeners why he remains “one of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone).
As Marissa Moss in GQ comments, “Snipe Hunter is both an experimental country-rock ride into the future and like something passed through the ages and across time zones, equally at home on a radio in Appalachia or a dive bar in New York City. So take your country music and play it with the rugged fury of a garage band, or even bring in a synth or two. Go to India to explore the Hare Krishna. Make something timeless in a world obsessed with change. Pray to whatever God you feel like at the time. Bring Black Lives Matter to the holler. Normalize a queer love story. What makes Childers one of the most important country artists of his generation is that he won’t conform or compromise, and every step of his career is about building a song, or a life, that both respects tradition but seeks expansion, not exclusion.”
