Join Tyler Childers & The Food Stamps to Support the Next Generation of Musicians

Known for honest songwriting, powerful storytelling, and a sound rooted in Appalachian traditions, Tyler Childers & The Food Stamps have become one of the most influential voices in modern country and Americana music. Their music celebrates community, resilience, and the people and places that shape us—reminding listeners of the lasting impact music can have across generations.

Tyler & The Food Stamps know firsthand how music can shape a life. As proud Tunes Ambassadors, they’re helping create opportunities for young people to discover that same connection through Instruments for Change.

Every child deserves the chance to pick up an instrument, learn from a great teacher, and experience the confidence and connection that comes from making music. Through Instruments for Change, Can’d Aid provides new instruments, Music Teacher Grants, and strengthens school music programs in under-served communities across the country.
