Raised in the legend-filled, limestone land of Tennessee, Jason Lee Wilson naturally blends the spirit of the old west with a little southern “branch” for a refined mixture of rockabilly, traditional country, and gospel music. With the talented James County, he celebrates stories of the legends and the land that shaped them along the way.

Rachel and Emily... a Thanksgiving tradition at GrinderHouse. These sisters are so talented & their harmonies will touch all ages!

The Restless is a female led sister duo composed of sisters Rachal and Emily Schmieder. The Restless make music that is rich with soulful storytelling lyrics, harmony, and conveys a positive message to listeners.

Growing up, sisters Rachal and Emily developed a love for music and performance independently. Rachal performed at school talent shows, and throughout her community in Portland, TN, and learned to play guitar at the age of 14. Emily became a regular performer in school, and played the role of Ariel (Footloose) and Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz) in the community of Franklin, Kentucky’s theater productions.

Harmony became a big part of their creative process, with background singing in church, theater, and choir.  The sisters later collaborated as “The Restless,” to accompany each other at shows, and began playing everywhere they could. Prior to graduating high school, The Restless had performed numerous times throughout the Tennessee and Kentucky region. The sisters became regular guests on WSM radio live, local news stations, and were honored to perform the National Education Summit at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. 

The Restless‘ song “If these walls could talk“ (mixed by Pat Lassiter… mastered by Josh Northwood) has gained over 70,000 online streams, and contains the storytelling songwriting tactic that the duo is known for.  The Restless are now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Currently, The Restless are working towards completing a new EP project, containing what they believe to be their best music yet.

Rachal Schmieder is a 2022 Belmont University Alumni were she earned a BA in Music Business. Emily is currently a student at Belmont University majoring in Music Business. She also releases original music with her worship team at Generation Church.

You might recognize Lauren from Season 19 of NBC's "The Voice", where she made it to the Knockout Rounds on Teams Gwen and Legend, or lately, from her feature in NPR Music's Tiny Desk 'Top Shelf'! She also competed on the Grinder House stage for the 2022 Tennessee Songwriter Competition Qualifying Round, and chosen as an alternate to move on to the next level. We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know more about Lauren and so, invited her back to the 'In the House' stage.   Her first original releases are part of a collaboration project with guitarist Ben Suyat. The two began writing music while at the School of Rock, staying after weekly house band rehearsals to work out their tunes. Their first song, "Adaline", won the notice of judges Kix Brooks, Pat Higdon, and Shane Minor at the 2020 Tennessee Songwriter Week Qualifying Round at Arrington Vineyards. Influences from John Mayer, Steely Dan, and the Grateful Dead can be heard in Suyat's lush guitar melodies. Their latest release, "Morrison" will be followed by an official video and "The Latona EP" later this summer! Lauren's songwriting is intricate, personal, and authentic, and her vocals have been compared to Amber Navran of Moonchild, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and Amy Winehouse. The urban vibe of her music is a surprising juxtaposition to the rural eastern Colorado farm where she lives and creates. Her recent feature in Tiny Desk 'Top Shelf' is a nod to the debut solo project she can't wait to share with the world!
