- Grindstone Sinners brought their eclectic style of 60’s rock music to The Red Eye Sports Tavern last Friday night. I witnessed a blistering set with cover songs from The Allman Brothers, The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, along with some really impressive originals. The band members include the beautiful Ashlyn Weidemiller belting out lead vocals, Jay Umlauf shredding the lead guitar, the talented Jeffrey Hunt on bass guitar, Jared Forst on Rhythm Guitar, and last but not least, Daniel Conner on Drums.
- Grindstone Sinners won the Songwriters Showcase of America award for band of the year in 2018.
- Jay Umlauf won the Musician Of The Year award for the Songwriters Showcases of America in 2017
- Grindstone Sinners opened up for Jack Russell’s Great White at the WMMO Downtown Concert Series in 2019.
- Influences include The Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin.
