Tyler Childers Headlines Morton Amphitheater’s Inaugural Season
Kansas City has a brand-new reason to celebrate! Tyler Childers is bringing his acclaimed Snipe Hunt Tour to the Morton Amphitheater—KC's hottest new outdoor music venue—on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. The four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter will perform in the amphitheater's inaugural concert season, making this show a historic moment for live music in the region.
Located in Riverside, Missouri, just minutes from downtown Kansas City, the 16,000-capacity Morton Amphitheater represents Live Nation's flagship new venue in the Midwest. With 12,000 covered seats, stunning views of the KC skyline and Missouri River, and state-of-the-art production capabilities, the venue promises an unparalleled concert experience. And there's no better artist to christen this stage than Tyler Childers, whose raw Appalachian storytelling and electrifying live performances have made him one of country music's most compelling voices.
Why This Show Is Special
Being part of the Morton Amphitheater's inaugural season means witnessing history. Opening-season concerts carry a special energy—the thrill of experiencing a venue for the first time, combined with the novelty of top-tier production in a brand-new space. Tyler Childers, backed by his legendary band The Food Stamps and joined by special guest Wednesday, will deliver a performance that KC fans will remember for decades.
The Morton Amphitheater is designed to become Kansas City's go-to destination for major touring acts. With an expected 30+ concerts per season and $70 million in annual economic impact, it represents a major investment in the region's entertainment infrastructure. Tyler Childers' stop here underscores the venue's commitment to booking the most sought-after artists in music.
Snipe Hunter—A Grammy-Nominated Triumph
Released July 25, 2025, Snipe Hunter is Tyler Childers' seventh studio album and his boldest artistic statement yet. Produced by nine-time Grammy winner Rick Rubin, the 13-track album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200—his highest chart position ever. It earned four nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Country Album, Best Country Song ("Bitin' List"), Best Country Solo Performance ("Nose on the Grindstone"), and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Margo Price.
From the rollicking opener "Eatin' Big Time" to the spiritually searching "Tirtha Yatra," Snipe Hunter blends Appalachian folk roots with psychedelic rock, gospel, and global influences. Fan favorites like "Nose on the Grindstone," "Oneida," and "Bitin' List" have already become setlist staples, showcasing an artist unafraid to push boundaries while honoring tradition.

About Tyler Childers
Timothy Tyler Childers was born June 21, 1991, in Lawrence County, Kentucky, in the heart of Appalachia. Raised along Kentucky's Country Music Highway—the same region that produced Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakam, and Chris Stapleton—Childers absorbed country and bluegrass traditions from his earliest years. His father worked in coal; his mother was a nurse.
After learning guitar from his grandfather and writing songs from age 13, Childers pursued music full-time, achieving his breakthrough with the 2017 album Purgatory, produced by Sturgill Simpson. That earned him the 2018 Americana Music Award for Emerging Artist of the Year. Today, with seven Grammy nominations and seven studio albums, he's recognized as one of contemporary country's most important voices.
