46. Tank and the Bangas: Songwriting, Tiny Desk, Big Freedia, Obama, The Heart, Mind & Soul with Tarriona Ball

Tarriona "Tank" Ball is the incredible lead singer of Tank and the Bangas, the multi-Grammy and Emmy nominated band. She’s a songwriter, poet, singer and performer and has collaborated with artists like Norah Jones, Big Freedia, James Poyser, Robert Glasper, and many more. We dive into her journey from where she started before her viral performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, talk about her new EP's The The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, songwriting, how to keep a band together for over 10 years, and also what’s ahead by manifesting our dreams for the future. We had a literal ball recording this episode, constantly cracking jokes and laughing.
