Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough & Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for the Stokes Nature Canyon Jams series on at Von Baer Park in Providence on Friday August 28th beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Two internationally touring folk/Americana duos, The Rough & Tumble and Flagship Romance combine for a night of high energy, four part harmonies, infectious hooks and a roomful of laughter. 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.

Concert begins at 7:00 pm at Von Baer Park in Providence. Please bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the show. Lucky Slice pizza will be available for pre-order and delivery to the park beginning the week of the concert.
