Sheldon in Nashville

 I had a great time playing at the Commodore Grille – the first time I played there in the Nashville Songwriter Showcase.

What a blast to play with Amanda, Dennis and Pete.

Drove down with my girlfriend named Sofia who is a photographer, and got a lot of cool pictures.

Met some cool people.  A lady from Washington State was there.  We chatted with her a bit after.  She and her friend were in the front row and said they were really digging the show.

While I was in Music City, I got some great recording sessions at 522 Studio with producer and collaborator Amanda Colleen Williams.  There are lots of cool new tracks coming up in the future.

Also had a really cool show at the events center The 7695 and unloaded some Sasquatch gear.

Had a really cool drive down from Canada, but I have to say Milwaukee was my favorite city besides Nashville.

I did have a special stop off in Chicago.  I’ll tell you that story sometime.

Playing at The White Elephant in Fort Worth Texas

I was watching the show 1883 with my folks up in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan and saw The White Elephant, a bar in the Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas, U.S.A. I just played at a few weeks ago.

In the show, the sheriff character of Billy Bob Thornton shot someone at The White Elephant and Tim McGraw was in the scene, too.

My folks were like holy crap! that’s where Sheldon was.

The White Elephant website tells all about the story of the famous shoot out. Learn more on History.net here .

Thanks to my buddy Taylor Lewis for taking me to the Stockyards, and Rachel Stacy for letting me get up to play one of my songs.
