Following their Bluebird Cafe debut, Nashville based “A Tale Of Two” is an undeniable rising duo in today’s roots music scene.
“Official Showcase Artist: 2022 Folk Alliance International Conference”
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.
On their debut EP which was recorded completely live, Adlington and Lessard channel southern lullabies, front porch blues, and even hints of nostalgic love songs. The resulting body of work is a refreshing take on timeless themes of loyalty, heartbreak, and the struggle of the human condition.

About Daniela Soledade:
Daniela Soledade may initially seem like a fresh name in Brazilian music, but the vocalist’s impact immediately strikes a chord as encountered on her debut album, A Moment of You (Blue Line Music Records, 2019). A carefully curated set of Bossa Nova gems (while dodging the most obvious choices), Brazilian-ized standards and original songs, created in partnership with producer/guitarist Nate Najar, the album frames the luminous tone and mature interpretive powers of the singer-singing in both English and Portuguese. A legacy-related back story lends added depth to Soledade’s unfolding musical saga—she belongs to a sparkling lineage of great Brazilian artists, ranging from her grandfather Paulo—collaborator with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius De Moraes, Baden Powell and other Brazilian legends—and her father Paulinho, who has worked as producer and partner with Ivan Lins and Gilberto Gil.
About Nate Najar:
Guitarist Charlie Byrd came into international prominence with his introduction of Bossa Nova into the USA in the 1960s. Nate Najar was attracted to Byrd’s playing whilst taking guitar lessons at school in Washington D.C. On this new CD Najar plays the classical guitar originally owned and played by Charlie Byrd on many of his recordings.
On a well-chosen mixture of popular standards and originals Najar’s playing is impeccable. He uses his very impressive technique and musicality on every track to great effort. Overall this is one of the most enjoyable music performances I have heard for a long time. All the tracks are excellent, with Najar supported at the highest level by Cecil, Allen , da Fonseca and Redd. I was fortunate to have known Charlie Byrd for many years and I know he would have been delighted and thrilled by Najar’s performance on this CD. Beautifully recorded, this CD release follows the excellent CD, ‘Blues for Night People. The Nate Najar Trio remembers Charlie Byrd’, by the same trio released around two years ago.
Duke Ellington famously said there are only two types of music – ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’. The music on this recording is very ‘Good’ and I am sure classical guitarists can learn a lot from Najar’s performance and interpretation.
