Next Show!- The Rough & Tumble
The Rough & Tumble, a dynamic duo comprised of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler, have been captivating audiences with their unique blend of dumpster-folk and thrift store-Americana for over a decade. The Pennsylvania-born Graham and Central California's Tyler have a knack for weaving together elements of joy, sorrow, comedy, and drama in their music, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. In November 2024, the band released Hymns for My Atheist Sister and Her Friends to Sing Along To", a record for the faithful, the faithless, and everyone in between. It's a record about appreciating what you have, loving your neighbor, and creating a world we want to live in.
"The Rough & Tumble make music that's the progressive folk style, rooted in acoustic bluegrass, with lyrics that are provocative and sensitive on each side as you flip the coin" - American Highways
