Rhonda Vincent is an American bluegrass singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Rhonda and her band, The Rage, are the most awarded band in bluegrass history!

Rhonda Vincent is known as a powerhouse of entertainment who has been awarded the title from the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music as "Entertainer of the Year" for 15 years, "Female Vocalist of the Year for over 20 years." She is an eight-time Grammy nominee, winning the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2017. In 2020, she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In addition to Rhonda's acclamations, the entire group was awarded the 2016 Instrumental Group of the Year.

Rhonda's music career began when she was a child in her family's band The Sally Mountain Show, and it has spanned more than four decades. She first achieved success in the bluegrass genre in the 1970s and 1980s, earning the respect of her mostly male peers for her mastery of the progressive chord structures and multi-range, fast-paced vocals intrinsic to bluegrass music. Rhonda is an in-demand guest vocalist for other bluegrass and country music performers, appearing on recordings by Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Tanya Tucker, Joe Diffie, Faith Hill and other notables.

The members of The Rage, include the amazing talents of fiddler extraordinaire, Adam Haynes, 20 year member Mickey Harris on bass, 13 year member Aaron McDaris on banjo, 3 year member Jeff Partin on dobro, and 2 year member Zack Arnold on guitar.
