The Rising Tide delivers Charleston’s signature warmth through powerhouse vocals and flawless grooves spanning six decades of hits. This five-piece transforms elegant cocktail hours into Motown magic and ignites dance floors with Bruno Mars to classic disco. Their uncanny ability to read any room—from intimate backyards to grand ballrooms—makes them the Southeast’s most sought-after act.
The Rising Tide delivers the charm of Charleston with every performance—balancing southern hospitality, professional polish, and crowd-moving energy in equal measure. Led by powerhouse vocalist Charlotte, the band captures the essence of timeless party hits with tight transitions, soaring solos, and infectious grooves that keep guests dancing all night long. Whether performing beneath string lights at a backyard celebration or onstage at a black-tie gala, they bring a versatile sound and undeniable chemistry that sets the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Their attention to detail is reflected not only in the music, but in every element of their show—custom wardrobe, expert lighting, and high-quality sound production tailored to fit the mood and scale of your event. From high-end corporate galas to laid-back beach weddings, The Rising Tide creates a personalized experience that feels as warm and welcoming as Charleston itself.
