WATCH: Grammy Nominee Tyler Childers on ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’

After a whirlwind year in 2019, Tyler Childers’ star is burning bright as ever at the start of this new decade with a Grammy nomination for “All Your’n,” a single off of his third full-length album, Country Squire. Released in August of last year, Country Squire fulfilled the promises of his previous breakout record Purgatory.

Childers takes bold steps as a mature writer and a gifted vocalist; the project is shaped like a concept album in which each song flows one right into the next, connecting the music and painting the record with a consistent palette allowing the songs to feel like a complete collection. The Grammy nod for Best Country Solo Performance is testament enough to the marked vocal prowess of the redhead from Kentucky. 

Childers and his band, the Food Stamps, are preparing for a very busy touring schedule in 2020 with highlights that include four sold-out concerts at the Ryman in Nashville, joining country outlaw Sturgill Simpson for his A Good Look’n Tour, and shows all over Europe. Watch as he performs the title track from his latest record on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

If you had to live the life of a character in a song, which song would you choose?
Paul Simon's "Graceland." I would want to be Paul's child from his first marriage. And while we're driving across Memphis, he tells me about this girl in NYC who calls herself a human trampoline. We'd laugh, and then make the greatest album of all time.

Where would you most like to live or visit that you haven't yet? 
Australia or the Grand Budapest Hotel.

What was the last thing that made you really mad? 
Someone stole my kelly green sports blazer. I've had it since the eighth grade. I bought it at a thrift store. People just assumed I was good at golf, just by wearing it. Now I have to actually learn how to play.

 

Quality time with my nephew.

What's the best concert you've ever attended? 
The National live at the Ryman in Nashville, Tennessee. Matt Berninger came into the crowd and tackled the guy next to me during "Mr. November." I was jealous it wasn't me.

Who is your favorite Clinton: Hillary, Bill, or George?
Is George the one from House of Cards?

What are you reading right now? 
The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen

Whiskey, water, or wine? 
Whiskey. It makes me look richer.

North or South? 
I was born in the Free State of Jones (Laurel, Mississippi). By law, I have to say the South.

Steve Carell or Ricky Gervais? 
Steve Carell. The American version of The Office is my all-time favorite TV show and defined my high school years. I also can't begin to guess how many date nights Erin and I spent watching The Office reruns. Beer me five.
