Ranky Tanky
With their eclectic, jazz-influenced sound, Charleston, South Carolina's Ranky Tanky take inspiration from the African-American Gullah culture of America's Southeast. The group emerged to acclaim, topping the jazz charts with their 2017 debut LP, Ranky Tanky, and taking home consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Regional Roots Music Album for both 2019's Good Time and 2022's Live at the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
Formed in 2016, Ranky Tanky features singer Quiana Parler, singer/guitarist Clay Ross, trumpeter/singer Charlton Singleton, bassist Kevin Hamilton, and drummer Quentin Baxter. Singleton, Hamilton, and Baxter initially played together in the jazz ensemble Gradual Lean in the late '90s, not long after graduating from the College of Charleston. The bandmembers eventually drifted apart as each moved on to other projects over the ensuing years, until Ross was inspired to reunite the group around a new sound, infusing traditional Gullah songs with jazz, blues, folk, and gospel influences. For this new venture, they brought the soulful, Charleston-born vocalist Parler on board. Parler had previously competed on American Idol and toured nationally, working with such artists as Clay Aiken, Renee Olstead, Miranda Lambert, and others. In 2017, the group released their debut full-length album, the eponymous Ranky Tanky. It topped the jazz albums charts.
After previewing five new songs on the 2019 EP Beat Em Down, the group issued their second full-length, Good Time, in July of that year. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album in January 2020. Another Grammy came their way in 2023 for Live at the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which also won the award for Best Regional Roots Music Album.
