Rhonda Vincent

Bluegrass vocalist and fiddler Rhonda Vincent began her professional music career at the age of five, playing drums with her family's band, the Sally Mountain Show. She picked up the mandolin at eight and the fiddle at ten, performing with the family band at festivals on weekends. After appearing on TNN's nationally televised You Can Be a Star program in her mid-twenties, Vincent struck out on her own, singing with the Grand Ole Opry's Jim Ed Brown, demonstrating her passion for traditional bluegrass music. Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, as she calls her band, are known for playing hard-driven, high-energy contemporary bluegrass. Nominated for multiple International Bluegrass Music Association awards, and a three years-in-a-row IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year award has led to a large amount of well-deserved showering of praise by devoted fans, music critics and peers of the industry including the Wall Street Journal naming Vincent the "Queen of Bluegrass."
