[Ranky Tanky] is soulful honey to the ears.
—All Things Considered, National Public Radio
Fischer can sing soul, jazz, rock, gospel, pop, folk and classical with equal facility and authority…Her approach tends to be intimate, artful and almost meditative, accompanied by her interpretive dancing, but she also can cut loose and funk with fierceness and rock with abandon.

The Quick is going to jump with the return of South Carolina-based, Grammy Award-winners Ranky Tanky... especially in this very special appearance with the “addictive” vocalist Lisa Fischer!
The quintet performs timeless music born from the Gullah culture of the southeastern Sea Islands. You’ll be moved by their playfulness, ecstatic shouts, and heartbreaking spirituals. Ranky Tanky’s 2020 Grammy-winning (Best Regional Roots Album) debut album soared to #1 on the Billboard, Amazon, and iTunes Jazz Charts, and was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross and on NBC’s Today show.
Grammy Award-winner Lisa Fischer spent four decades singing with icons such as The Rolling Stones, Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, and Nine Inch Nails, and was featured in the Oscar Award-winning film, Twenty Feet from Stardom.
