RANKY TANKY (Headliner) - This Grammy Award winning, Charleston, SC-based quintet, performs timeless music born from the Gullah culture of the southeastern Sea Islands. Their debut album was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross and The TODAY Show. It also soared to the #1 position on the Billboard, Amazon, and iTunes Jazz Charts. Playful game songs, ecstatic shouts, and heartbreaking spirituals can all be found on their latest release Good Time.
Thomas & The Shakes (Opener) - Rochester, MN-based roots rock band known for their authentic blend of rock, r&b, folk, and reggae sounds. Formed in 2013 by Thomas Wescott (guitar/vocals) and Garrett Kolb (drums), the duo recorded and self-released their acoustic EP, All My Favorite Things Are Free, before recruiting Mark Walsh (Sax/Flute) to complete the lineup. The expansion resulted in the bigger, more energetic sound heard on their debut album, Mind Your Time, featuring dynamic rhythms, laid back melodies, rich vocal harmonies and emotionally charged lyrics .
