Southern Journey: An Afro-Americana Celebration!
Feat. Ranky Tanky and special guest Dom Flemons
South Carolina’s global Gullah ambassadors and the Billboard chart-toppers making “soulful honey to the ears” (NPR), Ranky Tanky. The soulful songs of Gullah culture are brought to life by this band of native South Carolinians who mix low country traditions with large doses of jazz, gospel, funk, and R&B. The group is joined by Grammy Award® winner, two-time Emmy nominee, and 2019 Wammie Award winner Dom Flemons, known as “The American Songster” as his music covers over 100 years of American folklore, ballads, and tunes. A founding member of the popular Carolina Chocolate Drops, Flemons is a virtuoso on the banjo, fife, guitar, harmonica, jug, percussion, quill, and rhythm bones.
