Flagship Romance/The Rough & Tumble at the Granville Center for the Arts

On Friday, July 17, at 6:30 PM, two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, Flagship Romance and The Rough & Tumble, will bring their talents to the Granville Center for the Arts for a FREE outdoor Live on Broadway concert. Expect an evening filled with soaring four-part harmonies, infectious hooks, high-energy performances, and plenty of laughter along the way.
It took over 10 years and 500,000 miles of touring the indie/folk circuit and seeing each other’s posters on venue walls before the two bands met. But it only took one meeting before they’d started a text thread and concocted the idea of the Rough Romance tour. It’s a night of open-armed, deep-in-the-belly-songs that are as intimate as they are universal and as delightful as your first cup of coffee. It’s a jubilant show that has become the highlight of the year for many people to watch these four accomplished musicians and friends share the stage.
This special concert is FREE and open to all! We’ll have free snacks and drinks waiting for you, so bring a blanket or lawn chair, gather your friends and family, and settle in as the sun sets over downtown Granville. We’ll have extra seating available, too! If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the concert inside the gallery and keep the good vibes going.
Meet the Performers:
Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and a remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that will leave you with the feeling that you made two new best friends. Married singers-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson effortlessly fuse technical precision in their impeccably tight vocal blend with an invigorating sense of emotional abandon in their energetic live persona. Performing each show as if it could be their last, this duo will have you questioning how their larger-than-life sound can come from just two voices and an acoustic guitar.
The Rough & Tumble are a hardscrabble folk/Americana duo, made up of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler. With accordions and guitars, close-harmonies, ukuleles and oddball percussion, their commanding stage presence and engaging performances have made them a not-to-miss band when they tour through town because you won’t see the same show twice. They have been embraced by fans for their stark honesty, unique storytelling and well-crafted melodies especially after 2024’s release, Hymns For My Atheist Sister and Her Friends To Sing Along To, a collection of deeply personal, unifying and uplifting, humanist gospel songs.
