Love Is Gross w/ The Rough & Tumble at The Town Hall
All ages
About this event
Folk-Americana duo, The Rough & Tumble are coming to the Fairlee Town Hall, Fairlee, VT on Friday, February 14th. This show will be one-of-a-kind: a Valentine's Day, kinda-sorta love song special. Two sets will be performed. The first, a collection of songs from The Rough & Tumble's 2021 release Love is Gross (but it looks good on you). The second set is a surprise smattering of covers & originals, ranging from heartfelt to silly. Whether you love Valentine's Day or it's just not your thing, this show appeals to everyone from the soft hearted to the cynical. The Rough & Tumble, formed in 2011 and comprised of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler, have been living on the road for the last 8 years, until October of 2022 when they set their roots down in Haverhill, NH. They will be joined by an array of instruments, one stage dog, and even a nose flute solo.
The Rough & Tumble are a folk/Americana duo, consisting of Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler. Forming in 2011, they spent 8 years full time in a 16ft camper with two big dogs, playing roughly 150 shows a year. At home at festivals, listening rooms, and house concerts across the country, their commanding stage presence, engaging performances and affecting songwriting won them official showcases at Folk Alliance International, NERFA, SERFA and the Independent Music Awards Americana Song of the Year for their song “The Hardest Part. In 2023 they received recognition for their work in New England as recipients of Club Passim's Iguana Music Fund. Only This Far, the band's most notable work, was released in 2023 and has been described as "quality songs, well written, well played, well sung and arranged, and a pleasure from start to end." In November 2024, The Rough & Tumble released Hymns For My Atheist Sister and Her Friends To Sing Along To, a collection of deeply personal, unifying and uplifting, humanist gospel songs.
