Rhonda Lea Vincent is a bluegrass singer, songwriter, mandolin player, guitarist, and fiddle player. 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. Vincent was born in Kirksville, Missouri, on Friday, July 13, 1962. She is the oldest of three children, and the only daughter of Johnny and... Carolyn Vincent. Her younger brother, Darrin, is a member of the bluegrass group Dailey & Vincent. Rhonda's musical career started when her father bought her a snare drum for her sixth birthday. She played in Queen City, Missouri, in her family's group, The Sally Mountain Show. Rhonda, then age eight, started playing mandolin. She soon excelled and began guitar lessons at ten years old. During her high school and college years, she continued to play in bluegrass groups, but she truly wanted to make it big.
