12 Songs: Tanner Gudauskas
For nearly two decades now, Tanner Gudauskas has proven to be a valuable culture vulture and a great resource for gettin’ deep. Any time, any theme, any of the arts— if I reach out to Tanner, fascinating relics, great reads, interesting sounds and a genuinely unique perspective come right back at me.
Known for being a “Positive Vibe Warrior” and one of the smiling and universally adored Gudauasks brothers, Tanner always stood out to me as the one I could count on when I needed to discuss “the dark side.” He is critical, deep thinking and willing to explore the gritty and unfiltered.
Tanner’s outlook leans optimistic but he’s more than willing to take a ride to the other side. Whether it be a rum-circle driven philosophical deep dive, critical surfing analysis, a chat about some rad old surfboards or getting fired up on an obscure indie band’s deep cuts. Tanner is the guy.
He took the wheel of 12 Songs this week. Prepare for a journey to the center of the earth and back. Enjoy. More with Tanner all week!.—Travis
“Here is a friendly playlist: yard work, surf trip, friends over at the house. Basically something that doesn’t get in the way and doesn’t bum you out.”—Tanner
