Tyler Childers is a singer-songwriter whose music is a mix of country, folk, and bluegrass. He released his breakthrough album Purgatory in August 2017. Childers released his third album, Country Squire, via his own Hickman Holler Records, in August 2019.

Childers was born and raised in Lawrence County, Kentucky. His father worked in the coal industry and his mother is a nurse. He learned singing in church where he sang in the church choir. He started to play guitar and write songs when he was around 13.

He moved from Lawrence County to Paintsville, Kentucky, where he attended Paintsville High School and graduated in 2009. Fellow country musicians Chris Stapleton and Loretta Lynn (Van Lear, KY) also hail from Paintsville.

He studied for a semester at Western Kentucky University and enrolled at Bluegrass Community and Technical College for a few semesters. He dropped out of college and did odd jobs for some time while pursuing a music career.

Childers then began performing in Lexington, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia. In 2011, when he was 19, Childers released his first album, Bottles And Bibles. He has also released two EPs recorded in 2013 at Red Barn Radio, a radio show from Lexington.

The two EPs were later released as one after the success of his album Purgatory and reached #5 on Heatseekers Albums. Childers' music is influenced by his home state of Kentucky and its connection to country music and bluegrass.

He often writes about coal mining, which was his father's occupation, and its effects. Rebecca Bengal, writing for The Guardian, described Childers' songs as a "counternarrative to the outsiders who seek to perpetuate stereotypes of backwardness and poverty".

Childers emphasizes lyrical content in songs, comparing the songwriting process to telling short stories.
