Tyler Childers PurgatoryNashville, TN – Tyler Childers is nominated for “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the 2018 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards. The annual awards show will take place on September 12th at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.

The nomination follows a breakthrough year for Childers, which saw the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Purgatory. The record—produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson—landed on multiple “Best of 2017” lists.

In celebration of the album, Childers will make his Grand Ole Opry debut this Friday, May 18th. In addition, Childers embarks on an extensive nationwide tour including sold-out shows at Charlotte’s Neighborhood Theatre, Lexington’s Manchester Music Hall (two nights), Austin’s Historic Scoot Inn, Dallas’ Canton Hall, and Louisville’s Headliners Music Hall (two nights). He will also perform multiple shows with John Prine and two sold-out shows with Margo Price at the Ryman.

Along with Childers (vocals, acoustic guitar), Purgatory features a variety of world-renowned musicians including Simpson (acoustic guitar, background vocals), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Miles Miller (drums, background vocals) and Russ Pahl (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, pedal steel, Jew’s harp) among others.

“I am extremely grateful for Miles Miller introducing me to Sturgill Simpson, and also for Sturgill and David Ferguson taking the time to work with me,” says Childers, a native of Lawrence County, Kentucky. “I think we both wanted to make an album for East Kentucky, and I reckon that’s what we did. It’s not about rock, or grass, or country…it’s just hollerin’ in the mountains and stirring shit up! The band Sturgill and David put together was an all-star cast, and an honor to work with and learn from. I hope to do it again, but once is more than most are blessed with. For that I am thankful.”

Purgatory track list:
1. I Swear (To God)
2. Feathered Indians
3. Tattoos
4. Born Again
5. Whitehouse Road
6. Banded Clovis
7. Purgatory
8. Honky Tonk Flame
9. Universal Sound
10. Lady May
