TYLER CHILDERS TO HEADLINE SEVERAL UPCOMING FESTIVALS INCLUDING BOSTON CALLING, BOURBON & BEYOND, COUNTRY CALLING AND FIRST-EVER WHIZZBANGERS BALL
OUT NOW

EXTENSIVE “MULE PULL ‘24 TOUR” UNDERWAY, LIMITED NUMBER OF TICKETS REMAIN AVAILABLE

May 7, 2024—GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Tyler Childers will headline several major festivals this year including Boston Calling (May 25), Cavendish Beach Music Festival (July 6), Rock The Park (July 11), Ottawa Bluesfest (July 12), Bourbon & Beyond (September 22) and Country Calling Festival (October 5).

Childers will also headline the first-ever Whizzbangers Ball, taking place June 14-15 at Glen Jean, WV’s The Summit Bechtel Reserve. The event will feature Childers alongside fellow WhizzbangBAM artists Abby Hamilton, Arlo McKinley, Brad Goodall, Wayne Graham, Jeremy Short, William Matheny, Buffalo Wabs & the Price Hill Hustle and John R. Miller among many others. Tickets are on-sale now, full details can be found HERE.

The upcoming festivals are some of the only remaining opportunities to see Childers perform this year, as nearly all the dates on his extensive “Mule Pull ‘24 Tour” are sold-out. The headline tour kicked off earlier this spring with shows at Inglewood’s Kia Forum, Austin’s Moody Center, Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and two nights at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, of which The Tennessean praised, “a powerfully emotional performance…[Childers] emerged in Nashville as a confident arena superstar.” Additional 2024 stops include New York’s Madison Square Garden (two nights), Chicago’s United Center, Boulder’s Folsom Field and Washington State’s Gorge Amphitheatre among many others. See below for complete itinerary.

The tour celebrates Childers’ acclaimed new album, Rustin’ In The Rain, which was released this past fall via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records (stream/purchase here) and debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart with 38,500 equivalent units sold—a career-high sales week for Childers.

The record features seven tracks including the 2x GRAMMY and ACM-nominated single, “In Your Love,” which debuted alongside an official music video last summer. Since then, it has broken into the top 35 on the Mediabase Country chart, garnered over 10 million video views, 165 million on-demand streams and received praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Billboard, Pitchfork, Stereogum, The Advocate and Rolling Stone, who declares, “the music video of compassion and caring we need right now,” while USA Today calls the video “a much-needed portrait of inclusivity” and Paste proclaims, “Childers is the most essential mainstream country musician working right now.” Watch/share the video, written/creative directed by Silas House, and starring Colton Haynes and James Scully, HERE.

Recorded at Dragline Studios, Rustin’ In The Rain 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 record follows 2022’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 seven 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.”
