Flagship Romance and The Rough & Tumble

Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, Flagship Romance and The Rough & Tumble, join forces for a night of high energy, four-part harmonies, infectious hooks, and plenty of laughter. On Friday July 17, 2026 they bring their Rough Romance show to the Granville Center For The Arts. This FREE outdoor show begins at 6:30PM.

It took more than 10 years and 500,000 miles on the indie folk circuit, plus countless glimpses of each other’s posters on venue walls, before these two bands finally met. But it only took one meeting to spark a text thread and the idea for the Rough Romance tour. The result is a show full of open-hearted, deep-in-the-belly songs that feel both intimate and universal. Joyful, moving, and genuinely fun, it has become a highlight of the year for many who get to watch these four accomplished musicians and friends share the stage.

Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live shows, and the kind of onstage chemistry that makes you feel like you just made two new best friends. Married singer-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson combine technical precision with emotional abandon, creating a larger-than-life sound from just two voices and an acoustic guitar.

The Rough & Tumble, made up of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler, are a hardscrabble folk/Americana duo whose performances are as captivating as they are unpredictable. With accordions, guitars, close harmonies, ukuleles, and oddball percussion, they have built a reputation as a must-see act because no two shows are ever the same. Fans have embraced their stark honesty, distinctive storytelling, and memorable melodies, especially following their 2024 release, Hymns For My Atheist Sister and Her Friends To Sing Along To, a deeply personal, uplifting collection of humanist gospel songs.
