Premiere: A Tale of Two sing their story

Blood Or Wine: Drink up the bad with the good

Award-winning 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. Their emotional shows channel southern lullabies, front porch blues, hints of jazz and French love songs on A Tale Of Two EP, out Friday, September 17.

The two—separately, then together—studied great artists like John Paul White, Patty Griffin, Tom Waits, Ray LaMontagne, and Punch Brothers. “If Nashville has taught us anything, it is to be different,” said Adlington. “It is a unique hub of incredible musicians and writers. We have always wanted to find our own voice within the crowd.”

“Blood Or Wine” loosely follows their story, and a reality check for anyone in pursuit of a dream. The chorus reminds us that every path is ‘for better or worse’.

The two shared their thoughts on the the culmination of “Blood and Wine” with Elmore. Aaron Lessard said, “This song came to life during the height of the pandemic, while facing so many hurdles in the making of this record. We wanted to write a glorified story of who we are, and that is sticking together through thick and thin for better or worse—blood or wine.

Stephanie Adlington added ““Blood Or Wine’ was such an exciting and dynamic song to record in the studio. We were thrilled to have Eamon Mcloughlin on fiddle/mandolin (Opry House Band), along with Dave Jacques on bass (John Prine), and rock star Caleb Crosby on drums/percussion (Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown). Mandolin is my new instrument crush!”
