This special concert brings together two Grammy-winning artists, vocalist Lisa Fischer and Gullah groovemasters Ranky Tanky.

With a remarkable range and vocabulary, Fischer can sing soul, jazz, rock, gospel, pop, folk, and classical with equal facility and authority. She sang for two decades with the legendary Luther Vandross and spent 26 years performing with the Rolling Stones after joining the band for its 1989 Steel Wheels tour.

The soulful songs of the Gullah culture are brought to life by Ranky Tanky, a band of native South Carolinians who mix the low country traditions with large doses of jazz, gospel, funk, and R&B. Originally working together as an in-demand jazz quartet on the Charleston scene, the group named for the Gullah/Geechee phrase meaning "Get Funky" added the dynamic vocalist Quiana Parler to celebrate the bone-deep mix of spirituals and gutbucket blues that marks the low country mainland and Sea Islands.
