Flagship Romance is an unforgettable alternative folk duo known for their breathtaking vocal harmonies, inspired songwriting, dynamic live show, and a remarkable on and off-stage chemistry that will leave you with the feeling that you made two new best friends. Married singers-songwriters Shawn Fisher and Jordyn Jackson effortlessly fuse technical precision in their impeccably tight vocal blend with an invigorating sense of emotional abandon in their energetic live persona. Performing each show as if it could be their last, this duo will have you questioning how their larger-than-life sound can come from just two voices and an acoustic guitar.
Traveling over 250,000 miles since their musical inception, the duo has amassed an engaged grassroots following across North America and Europe. A testament to Fisher and Jackson’s close relationship with their supporters, Flagship Romance has released five critically acclaimed full-length albums, including their recently released self-titled double album, 100% funded by their enthusiastic fanbase. To date, their multiple crowdfunding efforts have raised a combined total of over $175,000 in direct support of their music.
In 2024–2025 alone, Flagship Romance completed three European tours spanning 11 countries and are currently booking another European tour for the winter of 2027. The duo is now embarking on a six-month cross-country United States tour co-headlining with fellow Americana duo The Rough & Tumble in support of their new double album. Currently based in Louisville, KY, Flagship Romance continues to expand their reach through relentless touring, authentic connection, and performances that leave lasting impressions long after the final note.

Craig Bickhardt is a masterful singer-songwriter whose five-decade career has made him a respected voice in American folk and roots music. Signing his first record deal at 19, he has since released eleven albums, including Outpourings—a critically acclaimed collection that climbed to #2 on the National Folk/Americana Chart in 2023.
Renowned for his emotional honesty and literary craftsmanship, Bickhardt’s songs have been recorded by icons such as Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Alison Krauss, Kathy Mattea, Art Garfunkel, Nicolette Larson, The Judds, and B.B. King. His artistry also reached Hollywood when he wrote and performed the closing theme for the multiple Academy Award–winning film Tender Mercies (1984), starring Robert Duvall and Tess Harper.
Onstage, Bickhardt continues to captivate audiences with his intricate acoustic guitar work, soulful vocals, and eloquent storytelling. He has graced stages from the Grand Ole Opry and Austin City Limits to Mountain Stage, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and The Bluebird Café, sharing bills with legends including Bruce Springsteen, Judy Collins, Harry Chapin, and Stephen Stills.
Lucy Isabel
July 9, 8:30 PM
A great deal has transpired in recent years and Lucy Isabel captures the essence of change in her profoundly touching new album, All The Light. There are the obvious factors: a global pandemic, political turmoil, wide-reaching tragedy. And on a personal level, Isabel has navigated five years of marriage, entry into motherhood, and the unexpected loss of her father. What results is a compelling and vulnerable sonic snapshot into Isabel’s life.
Following her 2019 debut album, Rambling Stranger, Isabel felt both limitless and lost. “I felt like people were aware of and interested in my career in a way they hadn’t been previously and I froze.” Unsure of what to do, she turned to her usual outlet and began touring extensively. Isabel embarked on an ambitious “31 Shows in 31 Days” tour in October 2019 and she found her footing along the way. Her confidence was short-lived, however, when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived and left everyone in fearful uncertainty.
Not one to waste time, Isabel took the opportunity to grow her family, giving birth to her first child in April 2021. “I always expected that I would just continue touring but I was suddenly presented with this opportunity to be home and relax throughout my first pregnancy. We decided to take advantage of that and I couldn’t be more grateful that we did. It was a silver lining in a difficult time.”
Folkus-NYC.org’s passion is supporting artists. Three generations of the Lowe family—Jeff, Carol, Matt, Brianna and Jonathan—collaborate to bring singer-songwriters, creators of original Americana, Folk, American-roots, Blues, Jazz, and World music to audiences at the Brooklyn Art Haus in Williamsburg. Artists perform in a dedicated listening room that recreates the warmth of a house concert. Following the concert, guests and artists enjoy social time and snacks from The Mouth, BAH's restaurant, in the comfortable lounge. Folkus-NYC invites music lovers of all genres to join us at BAH for this unique and intimate music experience.
