TYLER CHILDERS SHARES BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT THE MAKING OF SNIPE HUNTER
NOMINATED FOR FOUR AWARDS AT 68TH
GRAMMY AWARDS
2026 SNIPE HUNT CONFIRMED, TICKETS ON-SALE
THIS FRIDAY
December 11, 2025—Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Tyler Childers shares a new behind-the-scenes look at the making of his Grammy-nominated album, Snipe Hunter, today. The 10-minute mini-documentary features footage from throughout the recording process as well as exclusive new commentary from Childers, producers Rick Rubin and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixing engineer Shawn Everett. Watch “The Snipe Hunt” HERE.
Snipe Hunter is nominated for Best Contemporary Country Album at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards, where Childers is also nominated for Best Country Song (“Bitin’ List”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Nose on the Grindstone”) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Love Me Like You Used To Do” with Margo Price).
Following the nominations, Childers recently unveiled a new version of “Bitin’ List,” recorded live at a special pop-up show at Kentucky’s Dinosaur World, of which The New York Times praised, “The magic was in the happiness of that crowd and in the music itself — the sweet songs and the rocking songs and the searching songs and the funny songs…The magic was in the love flowing back and forth between the people on the stage and the people standing in the dirt.” Listen to “Bitin’ List (Live From Dinosaur World)” HERE.
Released this summer to overwhelming praise, Snipe Hunter earned Childers his highest debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart to date (#7) and also entered at #3 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #5 Indie Store Albums and #6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. In addition to Childers, the record features his band The Food Stamps: James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle). Stream/purchase Snipe Hunter HERE (Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records).
