Last year Childers released a triple album, “Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?” which featured eight songs in three different sounds. Like his previous two albums, it achieved critical acclaim and commercial success, earning two Grammy nominations.
Earlier this year he headlined the Railbird music festival at the Red Mile in Lexington.
