“We’re excited to begin our third consecutive record-setting year for Rhonda Vincent & The Rage in 2015. The Grammy Nomination makes it extra special” said an excited Rhonda Vincent.
Be sure to join Rhonda & The Rage as they travel aboard the Martha White Bluegrass Express across the USA, and beyond, when they visit Europe in the summer.
“We’ll be traveling the world this year, visiting countries we’ve never appeared in. The most recent call brought news that our show in Prague, Czechoslovakia has sold out 6 months in advance. They are adding a 2nd show during our visit. Prague is said to be the ‘Bluegrass Capitol’ of Europe. Thank goodness we’re flying in a day early to add more shows,” Vincent states.
