Tyler Childers is nominated for five awards at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards: Best Country Album (Rustin’ In The Rain), Best Country Song (“In Your Love”), Best Country Solo Performance (“In Your Love”), Best Music Video (“In Your Love”) and Best Americana Performance (“Help Me Make It Through the Night”). The awards ceremony will broadcast live on CBS from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena Sunday, February 4 at 8:00pm ET.

The nominations add to yet another landmark year for Childers, whose acclaimed new album, Rustin’ In The Rain, debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart earlier this fall with 38,500 equivalent units sold—a career-high sales week for Childers (Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, stream/purchase here). 

The record features seven tracks including breakthrough lead single, “In Your Love,” which debuted alongside an official music video earlier this summer. Since then, it has garnered over 7.4 million video views and 30 million on-demand streams along with acclaim from outlets such as NPR Music, Billboard, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Consequence, The Advocate, OUT and Rolling Stone, who praises, “the music video of compassion and caring we need right now,” whileUSA Today calls the video “a much-needed portrait of inclusivity.” Watch/share the video—written/creative directed by Silas House, and starring Colton Haynes and James Scully—HERE and “The Making of ‘In Your Love’,” a special behind-the-scenes look at the video HERE.

Continuing to receive critical attention, Childers recently spoke with The New York Times, who praises, “His songs with roots in bluegrass, Southern rock and Appalachian tradition have pushed the boundaries of country music and even his own fan base, while cementing him as one of the most successful touring and streaming artists in his field—without the aid of radio,” and continues, “when he sings live, his eyes burn with the ferocity of a preacher, and fans hang on to every word.”
