Flagship Romance:
"Incredible singers and songwriters who are most certainly rising stars!" -Bob Patterson, Artistic Director/Gamble Rogers Folk Festival
"2014 will be my 50th year in the music business. I rarely get excited by new music that I hear, but Flagship Romance is a whole new ballgame. Dynamic and engaging stage presence, wonderful wide ranging harmonies, well written songs and musicianship make Flagship Romance a very entertaining act."- Larry Mangum | Singer/Songwriter
Flagship Romance consists of recently-married singers & songwriters Shawn Fisher & Jordyn Jackson. To describe their sound they have coined the term “Harmonic Alternative Folk.” Anchored by Fisher’s unique guitar playing, Flagship Romance compositions are centered around the couple’s unclassifiable vocal blend.
Since the release of their debut EP, The Fudge Sessions, in January of 2013, Flagship Romance has toured the US multiple times, making stops at legendary venues such as The Bitter End in New York City & multiple performances at the historical Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, FL. The duo has also been a part of some of great festivals including MagnoliaFest, Mumford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road Stopover, the Florida Folk Festival, & the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival.
In addition to traditional venues & listening rooms, Shawn & Jordyn are quickly becoming mainstays in the growing house concert scene, performing at over a hundred house concerts in 2014 alone.
June 2014 saw the physical release of Flagship Romance's ambitious new CD/DVD, entitled Fee Fie Foh Fum. The stripped tracks on this new album consist of full-takes, with no splicing or tuning. Given the intimate, yet energetic quality of their live performances, this new record is a raw, real, & organic experience. In addition to the album, Fisher & Jackson invited a team of professional cinematographers to travel with them and document the entire recording process. The behind the scenes documentary features the studio performances, the duo’s love-laced back-story, & the beautiful nature surrounding the home-studio.
Flagship Romance has aligned their musical career with the clean water cause. Since 2012, Shawn & Jordyn have raised over $125,000, via their annual Clean Water Music Fest. 100% of the funds are being used to provide safe drinking water to villages in Africa.
