Lesley Grant's influences include Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Neil Young and many more. Her song-writing skill and natural singing voice summon these influences, as well as those of the southern Appalachians in an authentic manner rarely encountered in the Northeast. Lesley Grant and Stepstone feature three-part harmonies filled out by Carrie Cook on vocals and bass and Mark Struhsacker on vocals and lead guitar.
