This week, Kentucky troubadour Tyler Childers surprised fans with a pop-up performance at Turkey and the Wolf Icehouse, a buzzy sandwich joint in East Nashville that opened earlier this year. During the noontime patio gig, Childers and his band performed songs from his new Rick Rubin-produced album Snipe Hunter, as well as a cover of Hank Williams’ “Old Country Church” (which Childers released in 2022) and a solo rendition of fan-favorite love song “Lady May.” Childers announced the event early Monday, giving fans a few hours to score a spot for the outdoor show. InstagramHickman Holler Hunting Club on Instagram: "You heard it here first - @timmytychilders will be at @turkeyandthewolficehouse in Nashville TODAY (7/28) at noon! Show up, have a Snipe Sandwich, and hear some of the new tracks live! Ride-share is extremely encouraged! There is very limited parking available." One of the most antipciated country releases of 2025, Snipe Hunter hit streaming services and record store shelves last Friday. A boundry-pushing album that ruminates on religion ("Tirtha Yatra"), delivers rollicking cuts about Koala bears ("Down Under") and serves undeniable snark ("Bitin’ List"), Snipe Hunter marks the first collaboration between Childers and Rubin; the album follows Childers’ 2023 seven-song LP, Rustin’ In The Rain. The surprise Nashville gig included live debuts of the aforementioned “Bitin’ List” and “Down Under,” as well as takes on new songs like the swampy stream-of-concious rocker “Eatin’ Big Time," newly-recorded country waltz “Onedia” and groovin’ album-closer “Dirty Ought Trill.” MORE FOR YOU Childers returns to Nashville this fall for two nights at a much larger venue – GEODIS Park.
