Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Tyler Childers will tour extensively throughout 2020 as part of the newly confirmed “A Good Look’n Tour” with Sturgill Simpson. The tour kicks off February 21 at Birmingham’s Legacy Arena at the BJCC and will continue through the spring including stops at Lexington’s Rupp Arena, Los Angeles’ The Forum, Washington DC’s The Anthem (two nights), George, WA’s The Gorge Amphitheatre, Chicago’s United Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena among several others. Tickets for the tour go on-sale next Friday, November 8 at 10:00am local time.
Ahead of the “A Good Look’n Tour” dates, Childers will continue his sold-out “Country Squire Run” headline tour this year with upcoming stops at New York’s Brooklyn Steel (two nights), Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, Atlanta’s Tabernacle (two nights) and Boston’s House of Blues among several others. Additionally, he will perform three special shows at Pikeville, KY’s Appalachian Wireless Arena on December 27, December 28 and December 31 and will make his headline debut at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium with four special sold-out shows next year: February 6, February 7, February 15 and February 16. See below for complete details.
These performances add to a landmark year for Childers, whose critically acclaimed new album Country Squire debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with over 32,000 equivalent units sold. Released on Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, the album was produced by Simpson and David Ferguson and recorded The Butcher Shoppe in Nashville. Stream/purchase HERE.
In celebration of the release, Childers recently performed his new single “All Your’n” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” as well as “Whitehouse Road” as a bonus web exclusive.
The release of Country Squire continues a series of breakout years for the Kentucky-native, whose critically acclaimed debut album, Purgatory, was released in 2017. The record—also produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson—landed on multiple “Best of 2017” lists including NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Noisey, The Bluegrass Situation, Wide Open Country and The Boot. Of the album, NPR Music raves “the intimacy he conjures is his gift, in this private moment made universal, and throughout his remarkable official debut,” while Pitchfork declares “it’s his voice, peppered with both the knowledge of the ages and the innocence of youth, that makes a song…so effective. Then it’s the lyrics, a mix of plain-talk honesty and beguiling metaphors, that tip the scales to timeless.” Since his debut, Childers was named “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the 2018 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards and has been featured on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Additionally, he’s toured extensively across the world including over 130 sold-out headline shows as well as multiple dates supporting John Prine. He has also performed at several major festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits and Stagecoach.
