Timothy Tyler Childers (/tʃɪldərz/ CHILL-dərz; born June 21, 1991) is an American country singer and songwriter.[1][2] His music has been described as a mix of neotraditional country, bluegrass, and folk.[3] His breakthrough studio album, Purgatory (2017), was considered one of the best albums of the year by several publications,[4][5][6] and earned Childers an Americana Music Award. He subsequently received Grammy Award nominations for his albums Long Violent History (2020) and Rustin' in the Rain (2023) and the singles "All Your'n" (2019) and "In Your Love" (2023), the latter of which was his first top 10 hit on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
