Tyler Childers, the (Beloved) Redheaded Stepson of the Huntington Music Scene

Ever since ‘A Change of Tune’ started, we’ve had a list of folks who we’ve wanted to talk #WVmusic (and pepperoni rolls) with. Last week, we had the pleasure of marking one of those names off our list when we chatted with the self-proclaimed “Redheaded Stepson of the Huntington Music Scene,” Americana rocker Tyler Childers.

Hear our conversation about his history with Huntington’s V Club, his band’s forthcoming debut on Mountain Stage and how his future might just involve chickens.

Tyler Childers & the Food Stamps will make their NPR Music debut on this Sunday’s Mountain Stage with Larry Groce in Charleston. To hear more #WVmusic, tune in to ‘A Change of Tune,’ airing Saturdays at 10pm EST on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Twin Cousins Records, a Record Label Putting WV Music on the Map

If you’ve been listening to ‘A Change of Tune’ in recent months, you’ve probably heard tracks (and chats) from a number of West Virginia bands, including Goodwolf, Ona, Bishops, Coyotes in Boxes and more. That’s all thanks to Twin Cousins Records, a relatively new record label that’s putting West Virginia music on the map. I talked with the label’s co-founder Dan Mistich (twin brother to West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s Dave Mistich) about Twin Cousins’ start, his take on indie/alternative music in the Mountain State and what we should look forward to from the label in the near future.

Expect new music from West Virginia’s own Tucker Riggleman and Bud Carroll this month via Twin Cousins Records, and if you’re in the Chicago area on April 18, make sure to catch Twin Cousins’ showcase during the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival. Win a nifty Twin Cousins swag pack on our Facebook and connect with us on Twitter and Insta. Hear more rock’n tunes on ‘A Change of Tune,’ airing Saturdays at 10pm EST on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
