About this item

2020 album from multi-instrumentalist and skate legend Tommy Guerrero
gets its first official UK release.

TG's music is inspired by Ethio-Jazz, Afrobeat, Highlife, Spiritual Jazz, and dusty funk 45's. If previous album 'Road to Knowhere' was about the long haul, then 'Sunshine Radio' is all about cruising on, dropping the top, and taking in a bit of fresh air. "'Sunshine Radio' hopes to spark a bit of joy as well as a moment to refect and consider the fires of the world. Take a sonic respite from the endless noise." - TG

From Mission District punkers to Shibuya-Ku hipsters - Tommy's music resonates in a positive way. His melodies dance lightly around your head while the rhythms build under your feet and move your hips. His is SOUL music, made by a street kid raised on Santana and Bill Withers, with more than a little nod to the Clash and Public Enemy in there too.

TG continues to expand his horizons while upholding his Bay Area heritage. From Bones Brigade skate team in the 80's, he has gone on to make movie appearances, design for Levi's in Japan, Vans shoes worldwide, Sutro eyewear (among others), sign a skateboard contract with Converse, co-found Real Skateboards and 40's Clothing and become art director for Krooked Skateboarding, along with maintaining a prolifc recording and release schedule on his label Too Good, a collaboration with A-Train's Al Evers. Tommy's concerts have packed houses across the country from the legendary Cafe\u0301 Du Nord in SF to The Knitting Factory in N.Y.C. and continue across the globe from The Underworld in London to the Fujirock Festival in his yearly tours in Japan.
