00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:26.730
What's up Jam Family? You're tuning in once again

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.850
to Shecky's Jam Bands, the place we dive deep

00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.049
into the story, the sound, and the groove of

00:00:32.049 --> 00:00:34.850
bands you should know. Whether they're legends

00:00:34.850 --> 00:00:37.950
or rising heavy hitters, today we're shining

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:42.350
the spotlight on a southern Florida bred outfit

00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:45.890
that's been quietly building major momentum in

00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:48.770
this jam circuit, and they're called tanned.

00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:54.770
That's T -A -N -D. Tanned form around 2017 in

00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:58.750
South Florida, rooted in Boca Raton and the regional

00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:02.729
scene where late night sets, jam nights, and

00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:06.609
cross -genre blending are the norm. The lineup

00:01:06.609 --> 00:01:09.829
features Taylor Godsey on guitar and vocals,

00:01:10.769 --> 00:01:14.829
Daryl Jared Wolf on keys, Tyler Walker on bass

00:01:14.829 --> 00:01:20.420
and vocals, and Harley Galino on drums. They

00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:22.680
started off playing at local clubs shaping their

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.379
live sound and building that loyal following

00:01:25.379 --> 00:01:28.939
through high energy shows and improvisational

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:32.400
leanings. When you ask about the name Tanned,

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:36.319
they keep it simple. It's short, memorable, and

00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.099
a little cryptic. And that enigmatic energy fits

00:01:40.099 --> 00:01:44.099
their vibe. Groove driven, free flowing, and

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:47.400
always moving. TAN music sits at the intersection

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.420
of rock, funk, and jam band improvisation. They're

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:55.019
not the classic fish touring all festivals type

00:01:55.019 --> 00:01:58.560
yet. They're still emerging, but that's part

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.019
of the excitement. Their sound is raw, energetic,

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.760
full of hooks, and also jam friendly. Songs build

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.159
to stretch live. If you're kicking off your TAN

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.430
journey, keep these tracks in rotation. Puzzle

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:17.229
Piece, their first official studio release, capturing

00:02:17.229 --> 00:02:20.689
their live intensity and melodic sensibility.

00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:25.150
Swim, from their Studio Sessions Volume 1, this

00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:28.949
long jam -type track, 15 minutes plus, showcases

00:02:28.949 --> 00:02:32.110
their willingness to stretch and explore. The

00:02:32.110 --> 00:02:36.370
internet, same release, same mindset, ambitious,

00:02:36.830 --> 00:02:39.689
exploratory, proving they're not just rocking

00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:43.710
songs, but building musical journeys. Lastly,

00:02:43.870 --> 00:02:47.509
Paper Cut, another extended jam piece that gives

00:02:47.509 --> 00:02:49.969
you a flavor for their improvisational mindset.

00:02:50.909 --> 00:02:54.569
For all these, the why is simple. You get the

00:02:54.569 --> 00:02:59.009
hooks, so it's accessible. You get the space,

00:02:59.389 --> 00:03:03.150
so it's a jam band. And you get the vibe, so

00:03:03.150 --> 00:03:07.590
it's live show worthy. Now, let's dig into some

00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:11.110
live magic. Because with Tanned, the records

00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:14.699
are one thing. but the live sets, that's where

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:19.759
they shine. Swim, the live version, on the Studio

00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.460
Sessions Volume 1. This track clocks in at 16

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:27.860
minutes with an extended introduction into a

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:31.879
groove. Then climactic peaks, it gives you a

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.199
taste for their live ambition. The internet live

00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.740
on stage, this one, often morphs beyond the studio

00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:42.509
version. key solos, bass, and drums locking in,

00:03:42.629 --> 00:03:45.949
guitar weaving in effects, and crowd writing

00:03:45.949 --> 00:03:51.229
it. Cover plus original mashups, they're still

00:03:51.229 --> 00:03:54.810
relatively new, so they'll often throw in a cover

00:03:54.810 --> 00:03:58.009
or two in their set and then pivot into one of

00:03:58.009 --> 00:04:01.870
their originals, like Papercut. Those transitions

00:04:01.870 --> 00:04:05.469
are where you'll catch something special. Mid

00:04:05.469 --> 00:04:08.800
-set surprise segments. At festivals, They've

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.500
been known to stretch the groove, drop into ambient

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.639
keyboards with Daryl Wolf, then snap back into

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.399
full rock. It's the kind of mindset where you

00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.959
lean in mid -song and realize you're in the middle

00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.800
of something unfolding live. These live moments

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.399
matter because they show Tand is building a reputation

00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.379
for sets that evolve. Some unique facts and brand

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:38.000
personality. Here's some tidbits about tanned

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.319
that are interesting and help you connect with

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.360
who they are. While they're based in South Florida,

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:48.240
they tour beyond the region. Midwest states festivals

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.060
are gaining visibility across the scene. Their

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:56.000
live recording archive is growing. They list

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.860

of jam bands. They've got the tools, songwriting,

00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:14.949
and band chemistry, also live energy. They're

00:05:14.949 --> 00:05:18.870
still building legacy. For jam fiends who love
