Sheldon played at an event celebrating singer-songwriters, and had a great time mingling with other musicians from Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

He made the trip to Calgary, Alberta, about a six hour drive from his home, with

girlfriend and photographer, Sofia Petelina.

 The two stopped for a photo op. at a scenic overlook called Horseshoe Canyon near Drumheller, Alberta.

“That is a cool place because it has a bunch of dinosaur bones and a museum,” said Sheldon.

Here is a live action picture of Sheldon performing his set of originals and covers at the showcase, with photo credit by Sofia Petelina.

Here is the poster for the showcase with the other Saskatoon and Manitoba area singer songwriters representing their territories.

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.

Guitars

Guitars have been part of my life ever since I was a little boy.  Starting with my grandpa, and my dad and my brother.  We’ve all had guitars in our hands since we were born. 

There’s always been a guitar kicking around the house.

My grandpa and my brother are guitar builders.  They can build you a guitar out of just about anything.

And I love collecting guitars.

Of course as a songwriter being able to play a guitar is very important thing.

As lead singer in a band, also being a rhythm guitar player is an important thing.

I’ve never been a lead guitar player, but I’ve concentrated on being a good rhythm guitar player.

I own approximately 20 acoustic, and approximately 10 electric guitars.

Guitars can be art, too.  They can be good wall hangers.

Oh.. and hot girls love guitars.
