Childers grew up in East Kentucky in the shadow of the Baptist Church.
At 15, Childers moved to a new school, where he coped with being the new kid by spending his lunch playing guitar.
When he sings live, his eyes burn with the ferocity of a preacher, and fans hang on to every word.
Childers went from opening shows with his band, the Food Stamps, to headlining the same venues in a little over a year.
“There are a lot of artists out there trying to do the work,” Childers said.
