Ben and Jewel Tankard receiving Stellar Award, 2010

Tankard's father was a minister and his mother a missionary.[1] In church, he played drums at an early age.[1] He played tuba in school and received a basketball scholarship.[1] Although he was invited to an NBA camp, he hurt his knee before the season started.[1] During a period of homelessness, he went to church and was inspired by a revival service to turn his life around.[1] He began playing keyboards, recorded Keynote Speaker (1990) for Tribute, and started to learn about arranging and record production.[1] He has worked with Gerald Albright, Twinkie Clark, Fred Hammond, John P. Kee, Shirley Murdock, Kelly Price, and Take 6.[1]

Tankard discovered a third-grade school teacher named Yolanda Adams and signed her to his indy Tribute label. He produced her albums Through the Storm, Save the World, More Than A Melody, and Yolanda... Live in Washington. They collaborated on over 40 compositions. He credits her voice for helping to bring his production style and keyboard playing to a large audience.[2][3]

He won Stellar Awards' Best Instrumental Album in 2010 for Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.[4]

In 2012, Ben Tankard/ Full Tank was nominated by the Soul Train Music Awards for Best Contemporary Jazz Artist.[5]

Thicker Than Water is an American reality television series that premiered on November 10, 2013,[6] on Bravo.[7][8][9] The series chronicles the family dynamic of former professional basketball player and an American gospel-jazz instrumentalist Ben Tankard, his wife Jewel and their children.[10][11][12][13] Bravo previously aired a pilot titled Thicker Than Water: The Marinos in August 2011 that had the same premise but centered on a different family.[14][15]

In April 2014, Bravo renewed Thicker Than Water for a second season,[16] which premiered on January 4, 2015.[17]

In February 2016, Bravo renewed Thicker Than Water for a third season that premiered on March 27, 2016.[18]
