Ian Munsick and Montana Silversmiths Launch Exclusive Jewelry Collection at Boot Barn

Wyoming native Ian Munsick has partnered with Montana Silversmiths to launch an exclusive jewelry collection featuring unique pieces that blend traditional Western style with contemporary flair, available exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores and BootBarn.com starting on Thursday, April 17, ahead of the release of Munsick’s third studio album Eagle Feather, available Friday, April 18 via Warner Music Nashville.
 
The collection showcases four standout pieces: the White Buffalo Bolo Tie, Eagle Feather Buckle, Cloudy Mountain Cuff Bracelet, and the Blacktooth Cuff Bracelet. Each item is meticulously crafted to reflect the rugged spirit of the American West and the artistry of Montana Silversmiths, the first installment of a line sure to become a mainstay in country and western fashion.

“Nothing defines the west like those born and raised in it,” shares Munsick. “Its tradition lives through us and its survival depends on us. That’s why this collaboration with Montana Siversmiths is so authentic; we are both western natives. When I see these pieces we’ve created, I’m immediately transported back into the culture that made me who I am.”

To celebrate this exciting launch, Boot Barn will host a special event at their 2nd Avenue store in Nashville on April 17th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, ahead of Munsick’s concert at The Pinnacle that night, celebrating the release of Eagle Feather. Fans and fashion enthusiasts are invited to experience the collection firsthand and enjoy a range of exciting activities, including:

  • Leather Branding

  • Happenstance Whiskey Tasting

  • Ian’s Signature Old Fashioned cocktail – “Fire Water”

  • Hidden tickets to Ian Munsick’s concert at The Pinnacle later that evening

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our exclusive Ian Munsick collection in partnership with Boot Barn,” shares Marshall Smith, VP of Marketing, Montana Silversmiths. “This collaboration is a testament to our shared passion for the heritage and artistry of the American West. As Ian continues to push boundaries in both fashion and music, we believe this partnership marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey and very much look forward to bringing this line to the masses.”

With the 2023 release of White Buffalo, Munsick spread the Rocky Mountain gospel with his raw, untamed depiction of the American West and expands on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him with his 20-track follow-up Eagle Feather.
 
While the white buffalo represents prosperity and rebirth, the eagle feather is inspired by the native symbol representing honor, strength and wisdom, and serves as a continuation of his sophomore project by highlighting Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is. 

Produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, Eagle Feather features duets with Lainey Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr., as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and “Horses Not Hearts.”

The Ian Munsick x Montana Silversmiths collection, available exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores only and on BootBarn.com while supplies last, combines the legacy of Montana Silversmiths with the fresh, contemporary style of Ian Munsick.

Fans and fashion-enthusiasts who can’t get their hands on the collection for this initial launch will look forward to the nationwide launch in July in top Boot Barn stores as well as BootBarn.com, with more exciting events and activations on the horizon.

Miranda Lambert & MuttNation Foundation Create Idyllwind Award to Honor Equine Rescues

Country music icon and animal advocate Miranda Lambert announces the inaugural Idyllwind Award, to be administered by her MuttNation Foundation, honoring Lucky Break Rescue in Arizona with a $25,000 donation. The Idyllwind Award, named after Lambert’s first horse, Idyllwind Ellund, will annually recognize an outstanding U.S. equine rescue or sanctuary that rehabilitates and/or rehomes horses that have been neglected, abused or abandoned, while also educating the public about the difficult conditions these horses face. 

Lambert spoke about MuttNation and the Idyllwind Award at the recent taping of the Boot Barn: VOICELESS fashion show, premiering on Roku December 15 and airing on Hulu in early 2025. Boot Barn is the exclusive retailer of Lambert’s Idyllwind clothing and boot line.  
 
“We’re so excited to be adding this new award to our MuttNation programs,” she shares. “The strong bond that horses form with people is one of the most magical – and caring for horses that have been mistreated takes a very special kind of person. Cait Luca, who started Lucky Break Rescue, is one of the most special I’ve ever known. Her rescue is the perfect choice for this first Idyllwind Award.” 

Lambert, widely known as a passionate and celebrated animal advocate, has championed shelter pets her entire life. Her deep affinity and love for horses grew more serious when she began showing in 2014. In 2024, she won a Blue Ribbon at the 2024 Oklahoma State Fair for her Gypsy Vanner horses. She currently owns 7 horses, two mini horses, two dogs, and several cats, goats and chickens.

The Idyllwind Award is administered by the MuttNation Foundation, a donation-supported 501c3 nonprofit.
