Stephanie Adlington, raven-haired and sporting an Elizabeth Taylor as Maggie in 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' style, has a voice that sizzles like Patsy Cline and Billie Holliday doing Elvis Presley covers.

Aaron Lessard looks like a member of Frank Sinatra era Ocean's 11, clean-cut good looks mixed with just enough swagger and cool to fool the house with his oversized Gretsch guitar…

Adlington and Lessard are playing live in Jackson on Friday at Duling Hall."

Their music is a throwback..noirish 50s rock mixed with old-time country, blues and jazz.

"We are a crossover between roots Americana and vintage blues with a heavy emphasis on storytelling…

Listeners can expect flashy guitar playing tied in with sultry vocals and stories," the duo wrote…

The Jackson audience can expect “a love song to Southern lifestyle and tradition,"

"The show offers a glimpse of lyrical storytelling and humorous chemistry that shines from our teaming up as a duo. With influence in Southern gothic literature and prohibition folklore…”

And don’t forget the occasional murder ballad,
