Paul Childers & The Makers
„Wanna Be Famous Tour 2026.“

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Paul Childers is a leading force in the modern guitar movement. Blending virtuosic skill with the blues-rooted souls of Hendrix and SRV, Childers crafts infectious pop anthems infused with R&B, jazz, and soul. From his 2017 Billboard debut, Naked Poetry, to opening for legends like Vince Gill and Robert Cray.

Childers has earned a reputation for his dual nature: a mild-mannered gentleman off-stage who transforms into a „guitar-slinging virtuoso“ the moment the lights hit.

Since first crossing the Atlantic in 2019, Childers and his band, The Makers, have built a dedicated European following through relentless touring:

• 2019–2023: Established a foothold in the UK and mainland Europe with the This Is All We Have Now and Love Again tours.
• 2024: Expanded into Poland and Italy with the successful 17-date Feeling Alright run.
• 2025: Set a new milestone with the Time Flies tour, a record-breaking 21-show European leg followed by a massive US run including a performance at the legendary Woodstock.

Spring 2026 marks a bold new chapter with the release of Paul’s fourth studio album, „Everything Computer.“ The record propels his R&B-driven sound into the digital age, offering a sharp, soulful commentary on the modern music industry and the nuances of „social“ media.

To celebrate the release, Paul Childers & The Makers return to Europe for the „Wanna Be Famous Tour 2026.“

New for 2026: We are thrilled to welcome guitarist Kor Nelis to the lineup. Expect an elevated level of „guitar madness“ as the band expands its sonic footprint for their most ambitious live show yet.
