Tyler Childers Wears Shirt of Post Malone Wearing Tyler Childers Shirt
Wait, is that title right? Let me consult a diagram here … Yep, that’s right.
It’s been well-chronicled what a big fan megastar Post Malone is of independent country artists. He’s been spotted in various places wearing T-shirt’s repping Colter Wall, Billy Strings, and yes, Tyler Childers. Post Malone also blew everyone’s mind back in March when he appeared on Matthew McConaughey’s Texas freeze benefit, and ripped into Sturgill Simpson’s “You Can Have The Crown” backed by members of Dwight Yoakam’s band.
Post Malone first appeared in an Instagram photo rockin’ a Tyler Childers T-shirt on November 1st, 2020 while hanging out with a young basketball player from California named Noah Veluzat. The two were on some sort of movie or video shoot together. As some pointed out at the time, sure it was cool Post Malone was touting Tyler, but it was bootleg T that Malone was sporting. And to be frank, not a particularly good one.
Well last week, the whole situation went meta. Tyler Childers—whose been radio silent on social media since the release of his surprise album Long Violent History—showed up in the Instagram feed of Jimbo Valantine who designs many of Tyler’s T-shirts, tour posters, and album art through his company Amalgam Unlimited. In the picture posted on Tyler’s birthday (6-21), Childers is wearing a bootleg Post Malone T-shirt of and image of Post Malone wearing a bootleg Tyler Childers T-shirt.
Now the ball is in Post Malone’s court to wear a bootleg T-shirt of Tyler Childers wearing a Post Malone T-shirt of Post Malone wearing a bootleg Tyler Childers T-shirt, and soon we’ll be starring into infinity like when you stand between two mirrors on opposing walls.
What is Tyler Childers up to and doing otherwise in the photo? Not exactly sure. But mules and a derby hat are involved, so he’s staying Kentucky on our asses with his time off. Saving Country Music reached out to Jimbo Valentine for more info, but didn’t hear back. What they have made clear is the Post Malone T-shirt Tyler Childers is wearing was a one off, so save your business inquiries.
Recently Tyler Childers announced two new shows at Red Rocks in Colorado on September 29th and 30th that sold out pretty quickly. Childers is also scheduled to appear at the Under The Big Sky fest in Montana July 17th and 18th, the Hinterland Musical Festival on August 7th in Iowa, and at The Avett Brothers destination festival in Mexico January 27th-31st of 2022.

Cool,
Summer sort-of buzzcut hair for the horses.
Wondering how Sid is faring …

Sid’s doing good Di, thanks for asking.
EPM is a long road to full recovery with lots of dips, but he was ridden this past week and is going to Fair this coming week. We’re hopeful.
By the way, the contesting horse we were just about to purchase (we were about to schedule the vet check) was pulled off the market at the last minute. Daughter was crushed.
Things had a way of turning out ok, though. Around us are good horse people. Word went out. Lots of sympath. Sure enough in a week or three we were able to purchase a five-year-old sorrel mare from six+-time national champion bloodlines.
Daughter is over the moon. The new mare wants to please, is very, and very spicy. She just beat a local thoroughbred in a race.
We’re good.

Wow, So Happy for All of you guys!
Very sweet news about Sid. I’ll bet he was happy to be ridden. Hope he enjoys being at the fair! Sounds to me like he knows you guys are putting everything into helping him get better. Takes my breath away.
Good Luck to your daughter in all of her upcoming contesting events!
Her new horse sounds like a match made in Heaven!

We’re chalking this year up to growing pains. Sid can’t compete in what he used to, but he’s easing back into it. The new horse, P, also has to be moved pretty carefully through events this year. You don’t want a contesting horse for example to do the natural thing and drop its shoulder around barrels. So you have to take things slower as a matter of training, even in competitions. Patience, habit, and more patience. Turns out it’s good training for humans, too! That’s one of the things I like about horse culture. No one’s in a rush. People are quiet and observant. And when things get cranked up to speed, you know how much training you’re really looking at. Good stuff.

“That’s one of the things I like about horse culture.”
A way to wind down, relax, & collect your thoughts moment(s), when with horses.
All about it.

Those are mules.

I still like his little mohawk

Di, mules generally have their manes cut, it’s called “roached”. It’s traditional and practical on working animals so the mane doesn’t get tangled in harness and reins and it keeps mud and burrs out. ????

Thank you for the explanation Ben!

It’s like the CD booklet to Aerosmith’s “Nine Lives”.
