Tyler Childers’ last Tampa Bay show was a bona fide revival, and if that sold-out Whigfest show at The Ritz was any indication, then you can expect the 27-year-old songwriter to once again call on his fans to join him in sending a resounding country-folk holler through the air.

The show is happening at downtown St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live this time around, and we would not be surprised if the Kentucky boy — whom Rolling Stone has dubbed “the 21st Century Voice of Appalachia” — ended up in an even bigger venue on his inevitable return to the Bay area.

Tyler Childers. Thurs. May 9. Jannus Live, St. Petersburg. Jannuslive.com.
