Official blog for Sheldon Tyacke Canadian Outlaw Country Artist. Sheldon writes about hunting, camping, fishing, outdoor living, tattoos, music and travels. He loves George Jones country music, and sometimes does a little Sasquatch hunting in the wilderness around his hometown Weekes, Saskatchewan near Saskatoon, Canada. Drop a line, eh? #needmyjones #outlawcountry
What’s the most essential gear to take hunting?
Rifle, knives, amo, food, drink, a woman companion if she’s quiet hahaha.
Hunting also requires dressing according to the weather. One can always layer up in the cold, and the opposite in the heat.

What do sober gear heads do for excitement in Saskatoon?
We fix shit! hahaha
Gear heads like me like the old stuff.
To bring back a car like my 1965 Ford Galaxie, and make it a daily driver, now that turns my crank.
It’s great to be sober and chat with like minded people about our projects. It’s a high all on its own, and it’s natural.
Why do I like 80s rock and old country?
I like them both because I grew up in a time when there were rock bands like Loverboy, Rick Springfield, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, just to name a few.
For country there was Diamond Rio, Garth Brooks, Mark Chesnutt, Alabama, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis and don’t forget Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and George Jones.
It was great music.
There are many makes, and types of motorcycles: street, dirt, cruiser, touring…
However I have always liked the looks, and the rumbling sound of Harley Davidson.
Harley Davidson has a look of toughness and confidence. Let’s face it, they make sexy bikes that are comfortable to ride.
Good Time Better is the latest single release by Canadian Outlaw Country artist Sheldon Tyacke, following up his prior radio singles Need My Jones and Tattoos and Guitars.
This rollicking honky tonk uptempo was penned by Tyacke with Nashville songwriter royalty, Amanda Colleen Williams ("Beer Run" Garth Brooks & George Jones) along with rising Texas Soul artist Taylor Lewis, and Teresa Wright, former touring guitarist and high harmony singer for country legend "The Voice" Vern Gosdin.
Available on all streaming platforms June 13, 2025.
"After going on a rip on the bike and a fun day with my girlfriend, we head back home and make a good time better."
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sheldon Tyacke [rhymes with "bike"] is a native of Weekes, Saskatchewan, Canada where he enjoys hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. His solo music career has spawned a series of independent releases, including his tribute to "The Possum" George Jones, "I Need My Jones," that received international airplay, while he performs locally as front man for The Tyacke Brothers and alongside guitarist Robbie Lee (Clay Walker).

I recently celebrated 10 years of sobriety and I can’t believe it has been 10 years already.
It seems like just yesterday I almost died of alcohol poisoning. That was at my worst state when everybody had finally had enough of my shit. From jobs to family to whatever, I almost drank myself to death 10 years ago.
Now here I am now, enjoying life and music, opportunities to help others, getting around. I try to do as much service work as I can that God and time allow. The program that I work continues to save my life every day.

If you’re celebrating your sobriety milestone, you might think the party is over.
But the thing is now the party is Life - it’s enjoying relationships and activities, making it about time instead of letting people and myself down from being drunk and too afraid to go anywhere.
Announcing the release of “Black Wolf” title track from the forthcoming full length solo album by Sheldon Tyacke, Canadian Outlaw Country artist.
Black Wolf
This song was written by Amanda Colleen Williams and myself. We wanted to write a song that painted a picture of a true country heart break.
I think this song does a great job of breaking your heart.
And to be completely honest, I love the old traditional country classic song that breaks your heart.
I’m not a guy that cries much in life. I’m kinda one of those guys that portrays a tough image. But there are those times in life when tough guys cry, also.
Usually it takes a very sad moment for me to shed a tear, like breakups or funerals.
But you know what? I love the feeling that a sad country song like this gives me from time to time.
It’s a release and we all need an emotional release from time to time.
I find it helps to just put on a sad country song in the truck and let the floodgates open.
Ha ha ha. Sometimes people stare, and they must think, “That guy’s going through some tough times.”
No – just listening to a classic country ballad.
OK – well here it is, folks. Listen, and relate to the song.
And I hope you enjoy the release it gives you – or whatever emotion it taps into.
Just don’t stay sad, please.
I’ll have to pick you up with a fast one.
Sheldon’s new single is coming soon!

Sad, classic country music served up with a side of heartache and tears -
We tried to paint a picture of a white picket fence love-story that suddenly went sideways…
Does this song mess with your heart strings?
Well, listen to the lyrics and you tell me -
So much hearsay in everything you're hearing
Can't trust a thing people say these days
It seems
I was thinking maybe March or April
She'd come back around
But she's gone off and left me
And I can't see it now
That white picket fence with pink roses blooming
Love in her eyes as we stare at the moon, in
A picture I paint in my mind time and time again
My future was all worked out
But I can't see it now
Those romantic strolls down by the water
Got lost in my brain and all of it's clutter
And I forgot what counts
Until time ran out on
That white picket fence with pink roses blooming
Love in her eyes as we stare at the moon, in
A picture I paint in my mind time and time again
My future was all worked out
But I can't see it now
Yeah, I had it all worked out
But I can't see it now

My favourite country is classic, from Keith Whitley to George Jones and so many others. The list is long.
The song “I Can’t See It Now” breaks my heart and brings a tear to my eye, but it also makes me smile.
Because it’s true, pure classic country music - those kinda songs I consider good therapy.

The Full Wolf Moon, doesn’t that just sound so friggin’ cool!
The full moon has always been an intriguing topic for me.
All animals in the world, including us humans, seem to act differently during the full moon.
The wolf, my spirit animal is a creature that howls at the moon.
I know that I’ve heard some other very spooky, eerie, mysterious howls in the forest during the full moon.
The most frightening howl or scream is the Sasquatch, or Bigfoot.
What’s your spooky full moon story?
Here in Saskatchewan it has been a nontypical start to winter, and I’m not complaining.
This winter our first real snowfall didn’t happen until the second week of January.
Usually we can see snow as early as October , but it mostly starts in November.
It’s been strange seeing people ride their motorcycles on the streets of Saskatoon in the first week of January, but winter is here now.
It’s now time for me to transition from 2 wheels to 2 Skis
This means from motorcycle to snowmobile, and I do like them both, but I have to say my motorcycle is my favourite.
So hey tell me what’s your favourite ride, Bike or Sled.
Either way gotta love that freedom of the ride Eh?!
Check out Sheldon’s song “Yous and Me” where ever you listen -
I recently put on a fundraiser for BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) , and it got me thinking of my childhood memories, and the times my friends and family had on our pedal bikes.

Man we had our own imaginary bike clubs and we were bad a$s in our minds.
I remember making bikes out of whatever we could use to make them cool, and my dad was a mechanic so we learned a lot from him how to fix and build our own bikes.
There were many cuts and bruises from some pretty bad wipe outs but we survived.
We made many miles, got a lot of exercise and wow we had so much fun back then, there are so many cool stories to tell.
Like getting my jeans caught in the chain, hahaha kinda funny and embarrassing…
Do you have a bike story from childhood?
The BACA fundraiser event “Holiday Bikes for Kids” on December 9, 2023 at Pink Cadillac’s Diner was a success, and I’m very happy.
We raised over $2000 for BACA.
Local personal and business donations provided many great items that were used for a silent auction that evening.
Sofia Petelina was my right hand woman helping me with many things, such as donations, 50/50 draw, helping organize, selling tickets, etc. in conjunction with the Army and Navy Veterans Club Saskatoon.
Mike Sherstabitoff donated two very cool BMX Pedal bikes that are going to a couple kids that deserve a sweet ride.
Thank you everyone that showed up and donated, with your help and the help of BACA we will put some smiles on kids faces

I have been doing a lot of outdoor activity, even more than ever lately.
Recently I have been trying to explore, or have been given the opportunity to explore some areas around the place I grew up, weekes Saskatchewan.
I have many friends and family that have reconnected lately, some new ones also.
I could speak about the ones I choose not to associate with, by why even go there.
I think All of the friends and family I’ve been reconnecting with have been put there for a reason, for us to reconnect and enjoy the perfect view.
The perfect view, heaven on earth, Gods country, whatever we wish to call it.
So when times are tough, pick your head up no matter how heavy it may seem, get your camera, or just get out there and enjoy what you might consider the perfect view.
It’s amazing how Mother Nature can keep us all on the positive happy path, not in our minds on the negative one
Everyone enjoy the perfect view today Eh?!

Doubt!! Yes this is one of my defects of character, as it is for many of us humans.
Why oh why do I doubt myself so often.
I believe doubt is caused by fear, fear of not knowing the outcome, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of so many things.
Well guess what, I also believe in the old saying throw yourself in the fire, in other words try and conquer those fears and just giver Eh?!
And you know what sometimes it works out to much amazement, and afterwards I say hey that wasn’t so bad.
Sometimes I says to myself you’ll get there Shelly, and son of a gun, it’s like how the “F” did that just happen.
Well there ain’t no doubt about it
Just Giver Eh?!

What a peaceful and free time riding my Harley from my place in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to my place in my hometown of Weekes, SK.
It’s a wonderful 3-hour trip through this part of Canada, and so great to be able to transition from the city to the country, and back again.
I personally like the best of both worlds, and enjoy the highway time on my Hog.
But it’s also good to go for a rip around the city, unless there’s a lot of road construction.
Either way I love the freedom of riding my motorcycle, the wind in the hair, and the nostrils and lungs is great throttle therapy.
Just me, myself, and my bike.
If anyone wants to join me for a rip sometime, country or city, let’s do er up Eh?!

I’m a Sasquatch protector, yes that’s why I coined the phrase “Watch for the Squatch.”
But you know what ladies and gents? I think we should watch out for all of God’s wild creatures.
What about watch for the Bear, the Wolf, wild turkey, on and on and on……..?
I am from a small hamlet in northern Saskatchewan Canada, named Weekes.
I come from a long line of hunters and hang out with a lot of people who hunt.
Here is a topic that always stirs up a sometimes-heated conversation.
The Bear, why do us humans hate this creature, or are most of us honestly scared shitless of the Bear?
We know this animal could rip us to pieces easily, without our fancy weapons of course!
So, I think most hunters kill for the thrill when it comes to the Bear.
Mostly because we fear it and, then like most of us humans, we kill what we fear.
I have never killed a bear I don’t intend to, unless it’s kill or be killed.
I guess I haven’t been scared to death by one yet.
Grrrrrrrrrr
