Raised in the tiny mountain town of Jamestown, CO. Music is woven into the fabric of the community there, and most people played, if only just for fun. My parents are both talented musicians, and there were many late-night jams in our garage when I was young. So I had an amazing community and a lot of positive musical influences in my young life. That feeling of a supportive musical community is something that I still cherish on a deep level, and influences pretty much everything I do.

Free show. No cover charge.
2024 AMERICANAFEST Official Showcase Artist “Official Showcase Artist: 2022 Folk Alliance International Conference” & 2022 Kerrville "New Folk Songwriting Contest Finalist."
Combining the best of Americana and blues melodies with timeless Southern storytelling, award winning vocalist Stephanie Adlington and guitarist Aaron Lessard draw influence from the likes of Tom Waits and Ray LaMontagne, along with bedrock artists such as Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr. Not unlike the artists who inspired them, the duo’s songs frequently dabble in stories of revenge, drinking and feature sinners of all stripes and persuasions.
Oozing an infectious stage presence and chemistry that carries over from the music to the back and forth banter between songs, “A Tale Of Two” offers a different kind of Americana – storytelling by a swampy pair of retro raconteurs spinning blues arias with soul, intrigue and power.
