Who Is Tyler Childers?

Timothy Tyler Childers was born June 21, 1991, in Lawrence County, Kentucky, deep in Appalachia. Raised along Kentucky's Country Music Highway—home to Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakam, and Chris Stapleton—Childers absorbed country and bluegrass traditions from childhood. His father worked in coal; his mother was a nurse.

After learning guitar from his grandfather and writing songs from age 13, Childers broke through with the 2017 album Purgatory, produced by Sturgill Simpson. He earned the 2018 Americana Music Award for Emerging Artist of the Year and has since accumulated seven Grammy nominations across seven studio albums. His songs tackle addiction, faith, love, and working-class struggle with unflinching honesty. Follow Tyler at @timmytychilders on Instagram.

Why Penultimate Shows Are Special

In touring, the penultimate show—the second-to-last performance—carries unique energy. After months on the road, bands are at their tightest. There's anticipation for the finale but also the desire to make every remaining show count. Artists often take risks, extend jams, and pour extra emotion into these late-tour performances.

For Seattle, being the penultimate stop means experiencing Tyler Childers at peak tour form, one night before the curtain falls in Portland. This is the show where everything comes together—and fans in the Pacific Northwest have the privilege of witnessing it.

About Climate Pledge Arena

Climate Pledge Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena at Seattle Center that reopened October 19, 2021, after a $1.15 billion renovation. The project preserved the historic roof structure from the 1962 World's Fair while creating an entirely new arena underneath. It's home to the Seattle Kraken (NHL), Seattle Storm (WNBA), and Seattle Torrent (PWHL).

The venue achieved Zero Carbon certification from the International Living Future Institute—the first arena in the world to earn this distinction. It's powered exclusively by renewable energy, uses a rainwater harvesting system for ice resurfacing, features a 1,700 sq ft living wall, and generates zero waste. Concert capacity is approximately 17,200. For venue details, visit ClimatePledgeArena.com.

The Snipe Hunt Tour 2026

The Snipe Hunt Tour represents Tyler Childers' most ambitious touring project. The tour name references the American camping prank of sending newcomers to hunt a mythical "snipe"—a metaphor for chasing something that may or may not exist. The tour spans Europe and North America, including stadium shows at Wrigley Field and Folsom Field.

In keeping with Childers' values, $1 from every ticket benefits the Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund and environmental nonprofit REVERB. Founded by Childers and his wife Senora May in 2020, HHARF supports communities throughout Appalachia.
