At the end of September, Tyler Childers brought his On The Road Tour to New York for a gig at Forest Hills Stadium. He played a lot of cuts from his new LP Snipe Hunter, of which Paste contributor Ben Salmon wrote, “We get more of him—his interests, his insecurities, his inquisitiveness—than ever before. He unleashes his inner oddball. He talks a lot of shit, often hilariously. He sings about hunting and addiction, sure, but he also sings about the Bhagavad Gita and koalas with syphilis. It’s hard to imagine the guy who wrote ‘Nose On the Grindstone’ all those years ago singing about koalas with syphilis, right? Right. Because while he is the same guy, Snipe Hunter is crystal clear proof that he also isn’t—which is exactly how it should be. That’s good for him and therefore it’s good for his fans, too, no matter how much they may love those old songs.”
Our good pal Emilio Herce was on the scene capturing the action. Check out the gallery below:
