The Send In The Hounds Tour marks Tyler Childers’ first full outing since his Good Look’n Tour with Sturgill Simpson was cut short by the pandemic in 2020. Since then, Childers released his acclaimed 2020 bluegrass album Long Violent History, where he used traditional American mountain music to make a progressive statement on racial inequality in the United States.

The native Kentuckian then went underground as he pursued long-term sobriety, appearing sporadically and sparingly at festivals and Red Rocks. He returned in September with Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven?, an ambitious, three-part album that blended gospel arrangements with ornate stringed instrumentation and electronic music elements.
