Tank and the Bangas’ latest single “Why Try” is a question posed ironically—this group knows firsthand the virtues of trying. Trying brought them from New Orleans open mics, to NPR Tiny Desk concerts, Grammy nods, all the way to their present when they’re collaborating with international stars like ?uestlove and Wayne Brady. The group’s love for their craft has put them at the front of the modern neo-Soul revival. All this would be enough to stack up a truly legendary bill at the Ritz, but New Orleans bounce legend Big Freedia is there to hype things up even further.
