They look like the work of Jim Sherraden at Hatch Show Print.

Wood type.

But check out Champion Gothic from H&FJ

You're dead on. Love his stuff. Wood type makes a lot of sense.. is there anything similar font available?

I'm thinking of making a fake gigposter-inspired tshirt design for a band that I design for, so I'm hoping to start with a base font and mix it up from there.

Champion Gothic looks REALLY close, at least close enough. Thanks guys! :)

It's been a while, anybody remember me?

I've used this artwork for a few concert posters I've done.

Also, check out the Device Type Collection.

You beat me to it. I was about to say Hatch Show. These appear to be letterpress, mixed wood block type.

also in this category might be:

Local Gothic from Christian Schwartz

and

the BLINKtype letterpress fontpak from Chank

Hatch does some really nice stuff. I live in Nashville and wish I had gotten an internship there. Unfortunately, Jim Sherraden had already hired his summer interns. Really nice guy. It's all 100-year old wood type on letterpress. Fantastic stuff in an age where design sometimes gets too "clean." Hooray for getting ink on your hands. :)

A few more fonts that could work

you bet I did.

The fact it's a poster for the Ryman pretty much gives it away as a Hatch piece.

When I was at Blinc, we did some fonts based off of wood type for Chank (which I now see has already been mentioned). There's also usually an ad in most of the design rags for someone selling a wood type CD that is scans of wood type alphabets.

And, yes, if you're ever in Nashville, definitely hit Hatch. Jim is, indeed, a very nice guy.

This guy, Casey, works with Jim on some of the Hatch posters. He has a nice garage shop and a good selection of wood type, FWIW.
