On his last three albums, Tyler Childers asked his listeners to look inside. Some of that introspection hurt feelings in the wake of the George Floyd murder, and most recently, the 32-year-old who’s reinventing country music has released videos that showcase same-sex relationships in a manner that would probably get him banned from a Florida classroom (see "In Your Love" below).

Now, Childers, who made his local debut at Ybor City’s since-dissolved Whigfest, is bringing all of that to Tampa for his biggest Bay area show ever. Read our interview with opener Willi Carlisle on cltampa.com/music.

There's still time to grab  last-minute tickets see Tyler Childers play the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Wednesday, June 5, with general admission starting at $165. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
