Tank and The Bangas

Tank and the Bangas explore the most tender and true parts of life's journey. Unique and with a vibrance that could only come out of New Orleans, lead vocalist Tank has stretched her vocals over quirky raps, poetry, and rich melodies since the release of their debut album Think Tank in 2013. Four years later, they had a viral breakthrough as winners of NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, with an eclectic performance that has more than 14 million YouTube views. In 2025, the group won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album for The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, which is described by Tank as exploring "self-discovery, the journey to confidence, believing your ability, matters of the heart, the mind, and just free thought flowing." This is their SMF debut. This event is standing room only.
