NASHVILLE, TENN. (November 22, 2016) – After
being dubbed “The New Queen of Bluegrass” by The Wall Street Journal,
winning multiple “Entertainer of the Year” honors, and becoming one of
the most visible artists in bluegrass music,
Rhonda Vincent is no stranger to success, as she continues to reach new heights. Her latest project, “
All The Rage – Volume One,” is off to a roaring start, as it debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart.
The Boot gave fans an exclusive sneak-peek at one of the tracks, “Missouri Moon,” which pays homage to Vincent’s home state.
“So thrilled to celebrate a #1 project that captures the fun,
excitement, and authenticity of these world-class musicians,” Rhonda
shares from a Nashville TV studio. “We love what we do, and we’re very
thankful to see the incredible sales of a project that captures exactly
what we do! To debut at #1 is a perfect early Christmas present! Thank
you so much for listening.”
Accompanying the album is the live DVD, which also makes its
chart entrance at No. 21 on the Billboard Music Video (DVD) chart. The
invigorating collection was captured at Bethel University in McKenzie,
Tennessee. During the 60-minute concert setting, Vincent is accompanied
by her world-class band, The Rage, which includes Hunter Berry

About Rhonda Vincent:
Rhonda Vincent, dubbed “The New Queen
of Bluegrass” by The Wall Street Journal, began her musical journey at
the age of three, performing alongside her family members on what was
called The Sally Mountain Show. She sang bluegrass as a teenager, then
recorded a couple of mainstream country albums in the 1990’s, when
makeup artists cared more about her looks than her sound. She was asked
if she could “get the bluegrass out of her voice.” Confused and
heartbroken, she put together her first bluegrass band, and found the
most natural approach to her music was in the bluegrass realm.
In addition to being the most
award-winning band in Bluegrass music history, alongside her band The
Rage, totaling over 100 awards, Vincent has also performed and recorded
with the best of the best, including Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Keith
Urban, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Daryle Singletary,
Richard Marx, Hank Williams, Jr. and more. In addition to being a
15-time “Entertainer of the Year,” Vincent has established herself as
one of the most visible, best-selling artists in the genre, whose
cross-over appeal stretches well into the mainstream media.
