The Rough & Tumble return to Sundilla on Friday, February 6. Showtime at the AUUF is 7:30. Advance tickets are just $20 and can be found at Spicer’s Music, Ross House Coffee, and online at sundillaconcerts.com; admission at the door will be $25, and $15 for students. Free coffee, tea, water and food will be available, and the audience is invited to bring their own favorite food or beverage.
Nine years ago Sundilla brought The Rough & Tumble to town with the prediction that they would “take the stage as unknowns and leave the stage as somebody’s new favorite.” Based on all of the “You can bring these guys back anytime!” comments that were heard after the show, it looks like we were right. Since then, The Rough & Tumble have only gotten better, and have added seven new CDs, a Listening Room Artist of the Year award, and Official Showcases at both SERFA and Folk Alliance International to their already impressive resume.
The Rough & Tumble are as easy to detect as a stray dog on your doorstep-- and as difficult to send home. The dumpster-folk, thriftstore-Americana duo, consisting of Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler, began hobbling around the country in their 16’ camper in 2015, when their Nashville landlord left them without heat during an ice storm for 12 days. Then she tried to hike the rent. Enough was enough, and The Rough & Tumble gave their 30 days notice at their jobs and their lease, sold most of what they owned, and hopped into their shoddily built camper, in spite of the lot salesman's advice. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way-- two 100lb dogs, Puddle & Magpie Mae-- and have been making themselves at home in living rooms, bars, theaters, and festivals across the country.
"Their Americana music is restorative, their performance highly entertaining, their orchestra of unusual instruments intriguing, and… jokes and stories are worthy of an HBO special" says Linda Bolton of Cozy Cabin House Concerts." And Red Line Roots says “...they sure as hell are peaking high and mighty in this music and songwriting game."
