Adairs Run is a country group with a fiery edge based in Nashville, TN. Their sound encompasses the roots from rock and roll all the way to melodies that tie into the heartfelt storytelling in today’s country music. The band is made up of four members; Todd Cameron, Pat Pollifrone, Ian Daugherty, and Jake Lalonde.

Front man Todd Cameron, from Princeton, WV, began playing guitar and taking lessons when he was just 10 years old. His passion grew throughout the years as he took on learning more and more songs from his favorite artists ranging from the 80’s through early 2000’s rock and country worlds. He took to songwriting in his early college years after performing at a few open mic nights, and began to realize his passion stood with composing songs about the stories that he experienced throughout his life.

While in college, he met lead guitarist Pat Pollifrone, from Salem, VA, and the two began to work venues around Huntington, WV as an acoustic duo. Pollifrone, who had been in and out of several other groups growing up, began to focus on techniques with songwriting and stronger lead melodies to tie into their material. In 2012 the duo headed to Nashville, where they picked up bassist Ian Daugherty and drummer Jake Lalonde. The group has been touring for the last few years regionally through the East Coast and upper Mid-West packing out many country music venues and gaining a wide range of fans along the way. Adairs Run has even picked up opening slots at many festivals and fairs and shared the stage with national acts such as Jake Owen, Chase Rice, LOCASH, Florida Georgia Line, and many more.

In May 2016, the band released their first EP titled “Turn Back the Miles.” The new music featured 6 new compositions including one song featuring hit rock artist Chris Daughtry. In Sept of 2017, a follow-up self titled EP was released on all digital media sites featuring the new single "Undefined." The band will continue to tour in support of the new release into early 2018. Several new shows will be added with upcoming Festival and Club dates in the Midwest to East coast to promote the new music. Currently, members are working on another EP set for release by summer in 2018 with producer Adam Shoenfeld.
