Ranky Tanky Tickets

The Charleston, SC-based quintet, performs timeless music born from the Gullah culture of the southeastern Sea Islands. In Ranky Tanky’s hands, this style of music has been described as “soulful honey to the ears” (NPR) while being covered by the New York Times, NPR’s Fresh Air and The TODAY Show, who had the band on for a performance.

Ranky Tanky (a Gullah phrase for “get funky”) are five lifelong friends from Charleston, South Carolina. They have achieved many firsts for South Carolina’s West African-rooted Gullah community since their formation, earning yet another milestone at the 2019 GRAMMY® Awards by taking home the “Best Regional Roots Album” prize for their sophomore release, ‘Good Time’. The album, which also hit #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart, combines songs carried down through generations in the Sea Islands of the Southeastern United States with the band’s own original compositions in the Gullah tradition.

Ranky Tanky includes: QUENTIN BAXTER (Drums & Percussion); KEVIN HAMILITON (Bass); QUIANA PARLER (Vocalist); CLAY ROSS (Guitar & Vocals); CHARLTON SINGLETON (Trumpet & Vocals).
