About Rhonda Vincent
With the publication of her album “Back Home Again” in the year 2000, Vincent made her way back to the bluegrass genre with the intention of broadening the musical scope as well as the audience for which it is available. She was given the title for Female Vocalist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) for the years 2000 through 2006, and she was also given the award for IBMA Entertainer of the Year in 2001.
Her reign as Entertainer of the Year was recognized by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) and spanned the years 2002 through 2006 inclusively. In addition to that, she gives performances with her band, which is called Rhonda Vincent & the Rage.
On July 13, 1962, Vincent was born in Kirksville, Missouri, but she spent her childhood in the nearby town of Greentop, Missouri. She is the eldest of the Vincent family’s three children and the only girl. Her parents are Johnny and Carolyn. Dailey & Vincent is a bluegrass band that has won multiple awards, and her brother Darrin is a member of the band. Her younger brother Brian was a member of the family band at one point, but these days he is a high-ranking executive at the Bimeda Corporation. Rhonda’s musical career began at the age of five, when she sang gospel songs with her family’s band, which would later become known as the “Sally Mountain Show” Rhonda is a member of the fifth generation of musicians in her family.
After being found by Grand Ole Opry Star “Jim Ed Brown,” Vincent’s life of music developed into a successful career in bluegrass music. She spent what she refers to as her “musical college years” recording for Giant Record, which she says was an important part of her musical education. She received her education in the music industry from some of Nashville’s most illustrious figures, such as James Stroud, Jack McFadden, and Stan Barnett. In 1988, even though Vincent was still actively performing with the Sally Mountain Show, she recorded her debut solo album under her own name titled New Dreams and Sunshine.
Rhonda Vincent and her her family have been hosting a major bluegrass festival on their property just to the west of Queen City, Missouri, every year since 1987. The Sally Mountain Bluegrass Festival is held annually around the 4th of July and is attended by music lovers from all over the United States as well as from other countries around the world.
To this day, Vincent and her band, The Rage, have been honored with the following accolades: one Grammy Award, nineteen IBMA Awards (including the award for Entertainer of the Year in 2001 and five consecutive wins for Female Vocalist of the Year between the years 2000 and 2006), and eighty-nine SPBGMA Awards.
At a concert held in 2008 and put on by the Thames Valley Bluegrass Association at London, Ontario’s Centennial Hall, Vincent’s band was one of the bands that took the stage.
After eleven years of being signed to Rounder Records, Vincent severed her ties with the company on February 19, 2010. On September 21, 2010, Vincent issued “Taken” her first album to be released on her own record company, Upper Management Music. The album, which featured special guests such as the artist’s longtime friend Dolly Parton as well as Richard Marx and Little Roy Lewis, debuted at number one on the Top Bluegrass Albums chart.
Your Money and My Good Looks was the title of the album that Vincent and country music veteran Gene Watson collaborated on and released on Upper Management on June 7, 2011. The album debuted at position number 71 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in the United States. During an interview that took place in the year 2011, with the local television station KTVO, Vincent said that she and her band had recently filmed a live all-gospel DVD at a church in Greentop, Missouri, which is where she grew up. It was anticipated that the DVD would be made available sometime in 2012.
On July 10, 2012, an album titled Sunday Mornin’ Singin’ that featured old-time gospel standards was made available for purchase. The duet that Vincent sang with fellow country artist Richard Lynch was included as a tune on Lynch’s album titled “Mending Fences” and was published on April 1, 2017.
Vincent revealed during her performance at the Grand Ole Opry on April 27 that she and Daryle Singletary had spent the previous months producing a duets album. Vincent stated that more information regarding the album would be revealed during CMA week. She then proceeded to introduce Singletary, and the two of them proceeded to play a pair of songs by George Jones and Tammy Wynette, namely “Golden Ring” and “One”
Vincent became known as the All American Bluegrass Girl as a direct result of the success of her seminal bluegrass record, “Back Home Again,” which was released by Rounder Records. In the year 2000, “The Wall Street Journal” honored her by bestowing upon her the title of New Queen of Bluegrass. She is the recipient of multiple accolades, including an Entertainer of the Year award in 2001, a Song of the Year award in 2004, and an unprecedented seven consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association from the years 2000 to 2006.

Summing-Up

She earned the respect of her mostly male peers for her mastery of the progressive chord structures and multi-range, fast-paced vocals that are intrinsic to bluegrass music. Vincent’s success in bluegrass led to her success in other musical genres.
