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. A Tale Of Two has opened for notable artists such as Mary Gauthier, Grayson Capps, and Peter Mulvey. 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. 

“Americana duo A Tale Of Two wants to bring their records to life every time they perform… they do just that”

“It is inspiring to hear a Nashville band with old-time songs and genuine talent…”

“Vocalist Stephanie Adlington and guitarist Aaron Lessard blended Americana/Southern Gothic storytelling and dirty slide guitar to bring A Tale Of Two to the stage…”

“The whine and grit in this duo’s vocals are gripping and noticeably timeless. Some really catchy great slide and acoustic charms...”

“...six songs that combine the best of Americana and blues melodies with that enduring Southern Gothic storytelling that has made the duo one of the rising stars in the American roots music scene...impressively, the whole EP was recorded live, which really captures the grit and the moxie of this inventive duo.”
