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.
I remember rocking out to this song when I was a teenager, cruising in my car and banging my head to Skid Row, and the parties we had and the good times back then. It seemed like it was so cool to be bad.
But this song also has other values for me, as I have dealt with the consequences of what alcohol can bring, Broken homes, broken bones, near death, depression, anger, over night jail time, and the list goes on and on.
I also have a son that has spent sometime behind bars for his consequences with drugs and alcohol, and the last three years I haven’t been able to see him much because of it. It sucks and it’s sad, but I have a higher power and that is GOD that helps me keep it real in life now.
18 and Life is what can happen if you turn to the dark side in Life. We all do bad shit in life but some of us get caught, and eventually we all suffer the consequences, whether it’s jail for real, or jail in our minds.
It blows my mind to think that I’m announcing the release the song “18 and Life” today.
I look back a long time ago rocking out to this song by one of my favorite Canadian artists, Sebastian Bach of the band Skid Row. Never thought I’d be releasing the song as a country artist all these years later.
Goes to show, you just never know what can happen in life and music.
You can preorder the single here, and thanks in advance.

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.
Sheldon’s song “Tattoos and Guitars” is featured at # 21 this week on the DistroKid Country Spotify Playlist.

Sheldon Tyacke autographs the wall at CDX Nashville studios
Sheldon stopped by CDX Nashville for a live in studio performance of a few of his favorite tunes.
Here are some photos taken during the session -
I grew up riding motorcycles.
Most of them that I had my dad could never afford expensive ones. So most of the time, we’d be pushing the motorcycle rather than actually riding the motorcycle.
We come from a mechanical family. My dad would hand me a wrench and say, here’s how you do it, go to it.
Fix it on your own because I don’t want to fix it when I get home.
I first got to buy my own when I was in my 40s, I guess. I love it.
And hot girls love motorcycles.
The Possum is Awesome
