Flagship Romance

Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, Flagship Romance and The Rough & Tumble combine for a night of high energy, four part harmonies, infectious hooks and a roomful of laughter. On Thursday August 20, 2026 they're bringing their Rough Romance show to Third Thursdays at Montezuma Park in Cortez, CO. The event is from 5-8PM. 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. 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.  “Two human beings perfectly in tune with the spirit of the other.” - Americana UK 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.
