ST. LOUIS, MO - The Sheldon presents Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 3 p.m. in the perfect acoustics of the Sheldon Concert Hall. A multi-instrumentalist and talented singer, International Bluegrass Music Association award-winner Rhonda Vincent returns with her band The Rage to strike a perfect balance between classic bluegrass sounds and her modern take on the genre.

Rhonda Vincent and the talents of guitarist/mandolinist Josh Williams, fiddler Hunter Berry, bassist Mickey Harris, and banjo player Kenny Ingram create a modern and unique spin on bluegrass that has become popular across the nation. The "new queen of bluegrass," according to the Wall Street Journal, is living up to her title with a range of sounds that every audience can enjoy. Destination Life, Vincent's most recent album, is featured on her current tour with songs that reflect this range with new, original, and classic bluegrass tunes.

Vincent grew up in Kirksville , MO with a family band that became well known in bluegrass circles. At the age of eight, Vincent released her first single, an arrangement of "Mule Skinner Blues," to begin her professional career. She already had many bluegrass and country albums to her credit by her mid-twenties. Since then, she has been featured as a multi-instrumentalist and talented singer on over a dozen albums.
