The Rough & Tumble are a folk/Americana duo consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler. Forming in 2011, they spent eight years full time in a 16-foot 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 recognition from music industry veterans and audiences alike. Recently, they released Hymns for My Atheist Sister & Her Friends to Sing Along To, a collection of deeply personal, unifying, and uplifting humanist gospel songs.

“…quality songs, well written, well played, well sung and arranged, and a pleasure from start to end.”

John Finan & Sharon Tse: Their chance meeting produced one of Metro Detroit’s finest acoustic duos. John and Sharon weave intricate guitar arrangements and effortless vocal harmonies into their unique brand of intelligent songwriting. Audiences will catch nuances of folk, rock, pop, and jazz as they are captivated by this duo’s warm, approachable style.
