Diggin’ through the ol’ YouTube vault this evening and lo and behold I stumble upon these throwback Tyler Childers tunes from somewhere around 2012.
Carhartt clad and safety glasses resting comfortably atop his red head, Tyler is joined by Russell Waddell on the banjo at Lexington’s Longwood Antique Woods for a performance of “Charleston Girl” and another rare gem called “William Hill.”
Of course, here we are now more than a decade later and the man has accomplished more than he could’ve possibly imagined. Gold and platinum records all over the place, sold out arena tours, more than half a dozen Grammy nominations, a picture with Taylor Swift (kidding), and he’s done it all without a single ounce of support from country radio or the Nashville music machine.
But if one thing is for sure, all the way back in 2012… this man was born to be a country music star. Enjoy.
“Charleston Girl”
“William Hill”
He did snap a Grammy pic with Taylor, though…
