With sonic assists from spouse Jason Weinheimer at Fellowship Hall Sound and Lucky Dog Audio and the ever-stellar Jesse Aycock, songwriter Indy Grotto put out a badass pop rock record for grown-ups in 2018 called “Who’s Afraid of Indy Grotto?”, and its ten tracks are exactly the sort of thing that makes people wonder why there’s so much dang talent in little old Little Rock. Put on your best nightmare werewolf mask and turn it up.
