About
Rhonda Vincent:
Rhonda Vincent was born in Greentop, Missouri, where she grew up performing in
her family band, The Sally Mountain Show, featuring country and bluegrass
music. After releasing a handful of her own successful bluegrass albums on
Rebel Records as the 1990’s began, she was signed to a country recording
contract with Giant Records. Songs such as “I’m Not Over You,”
“An Old Memory (Found It’s Way Back Home Again),” “I Do My
Cryin’ At Night,” and “At The Corner Of Walk and Don’t Walk”
endeared her to fans of traditional country music, even if the mainstream
audience was not ready for her unashamedly country sound. After developing a
loyal following within both musical styles, she chose to return to her
bluegrass roots in 2000, and hasn’t looked back. Her powerful voice and
unrelenting work ethic have made her the undisputed “Queen of
Bluegrass” (a title bestowed upon her by The Wall Street Journal), earning
her a closet full of bluegrass music awards, and a GRAMMY Award for Best
Bluegrass Album in 2017. Her first-class presentation both on and off stage has
allowed Vincent to be one of the only bluegrass artists of the 21st century
whose albums consistently reach the Billboard Country Top 40, finding a home
among both camps of fans. She is also one of Nashville’s most in-demand harmony
singers, heard on recordings alongside names such as Dolly Parton, Alan
Jackson, and Daryle Singletary. For more information and the latest tour
