Tyler Childers Benefit Concert Set to Stream for Free
If you’re hankering for the next best thing to the live music experience, The Healing Appalachia concert from the State Fair of West Virginia in Lewisburg, WV that took place on September 28, 2019, and featured a 90-minute set from Tyler Childers will stream for free on Friday, February 12th at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Captured with professional audio and in multiple camera angles, the sold-out concert also featured musical appearances by reigning Saving Country Music Album of the Year winner Arlo McKinley, along with Jeremy Short, Brian Fallon, and Senora May, whose new album All My Love is set to be released on Valentines Day, Sunday, February 14th.
The 2 1/2-hour concert also features testimonials from folks around Appalachia who are in recovery, as well as Hope in the Hills founders Ian Thornton and Charlie Hatcher, who talk about creating the nonprofit and Healing Appalachia concert to fuel recovery in Appalachia. The video also features Huntington resident Margaret Moore, Ph.D., who helped organize a pilot project in music-themed Forward Facing Trauma Therapy for Hope in the Hills.
In the two years of the Healing Appalachia concert, Hope in the Hills has donated funds to a variety of recovery programs including Recovery Point West Virginia, The Healing Place in Louisville, Kentucky, and music therapy pilot projects in West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Nashville.
Though the concert will stream for free, it is a fundraiser for Hope in the Hills, so viewers are asked to drop a few bucks by healingappalachia.org/donate if they have them to give.
You can watch the concert via nugs.tv, or via the embedded player below.

Really wish one of these streams would be live or something recent from Tyler. I think it’ll be interesting to see his future performances considering his last project and as well as his sobriety.

Didn’t know he had a substance abuse problem. What happened?

Yes, it was a one-time deal. Didn’t know about it myself until yesterday morning or I would have tried to give a better warning. I’ll try to let folks know if it reappears.

I’d definitely be here for a Tyler Childers “45” cover.

Really cool to see Childers put Jeremy Short on like that.
Great dude and a great musician, happy to see him get some shine.

I’ve really enjoyed Nigel Thornberry’s venture into country.

I absolutely love Tyler Childers. The drawl in his voice. The feeling he puts into the songs he sings. I’m from the Tennessee plateau. I’m 60 years old/young. Some of the songs Tyler sings remind me of so much of my own life in my younger years. It’s a hard life in many different areas of the U. S. I’ve definitely lived in some of those areas. The meger income of so many of us because of low paying wages turns our golden years into the dark years. I’m just a little over $800 a month and I truly do worry about will there be enough to live on. I put my trust in God to take care of me but truthfully sometimes it’s hard. Not because of God but because of my own fears.

I missed this last night and I believe it reappeared today on YouTube.
