Rhonda Vincent (b. July 13 1962, Kirksville, Missouri) is a bluegrass singer, mandolin player, guitarist and fiddle player. [ [http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/vincent_rhonda/artist.jhtml CMT bio] . Accessed July 9, 2007.]

Her musical career started as a child in her family's band, The Sally Mountain Show, and has spanned almost four decades. She achieved success in the bluegrass genre in the 1970s and '80s, 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.

Biography

In the 1990s she branched out into mainstream country music but did not enjoy the success anticipated there. With the release of her album "Back Home Again" in 2000, she returned to bluegrass with the goal of expanding both the musical reach and the accessibility of the genre. Since then she has seen her popularity and acceptance rise and has received acclaim from several music-industry groups. The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) accorded her its Female Vocalist of the Year award for the years 2000 - 2006, plus IBMA Entertainer of the Year in 2001. The Society for Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) designated her its Entertainer of the Year for 2002 - 2006 inclusive. [ [http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/vincent_rhonda/bio.jhtml VH1 bio] ] She also performs with her band, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage.

Vincent married Herb Sandker in 1984. They have two daughters, Sally (b. 1986) and Tensel (b. 1988). She is the sister of bluegrass performer and producer Darrin Vincent (Kentucky Thunder, Dailey & Vincent).
