MUSIC.GAY

After a month away, we're back, baby! Missed you all. Took a little time to get hooked in with GoDaddy.com and OhHey.gay, the creators of the .gay domain name. Also did a bunch of great interviews in that time which you can look for over the next few weeks! It was a very exciting month.

TW: This episode touches on themes of mental health, suicide, addiction, and recovery, which may be sensitive for some. It's a great episode and it's balanced with humor and lightness, making this a compelling listen for anyone interested in the intersection of creativity and human experience.

So today, join me as we kick off this summer with Oh Bummer. We dive into the raw emotional inspiration for Tanner Houghton's genre-defying sounds as he opens up about his artistic process and the deeply personal stories behind his music. This Seattle-born, LA-based artist doesn't just create songs; he crafts portals into his psyche, sharing his struggles and reflections with an honesty that's as refreshing as it is rare.

In this episode, Tanner discusses his transition from group to solo artist, his collaborations with notable producers and musicians, and his recent works, including the EP "To Be a Part of the World" all the while sharing personal trials, from overcoming addiction to navigating the complexities of mental health. His stories are a testament to the power of music as a form of therapy and expression.

You can find Tanner on IG @ohbummermusic or visit www.ohbummermusic.com to see what's new and exciting with him and his music. Engage with his work, stream his music, buy merch... you know the drill.
