Description:
Little River Bluegrass Barn presents Rhonda Vincent & The Rage in concert with opening act Shadow Grass on Friday, November 10, 2017.

Famously crowned as "The New Queen of Bluegrass" by the Wall Street Journal, and the most decorated artist in that field. Rhonda Vincent's music incorporates savvy contemporary touches while drawing deeply from the authentic traditions of classic bluegrass, with a flawless band that can execute break-neck instrumentals to heart wrenching ballads.

Rhonda Vincent is an 8-time IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year and a six time Grammy nominee. With over 80 awards to their name, Rhonda Vincent and The Rage are the most celebrated band in bluegrass.

"Rhonda Vincent - A bandleader who ranks with Bill Monroe and Ricky Skaggs when it comes to inventiveness, virtuosity and discipline, Vincent played to each of her band member's strengths, urging them along with her own driving excellence as a vocalist, mandolinist and fiddler."

ShadowGrass is comprised of five young players whose paths have crossed to form a love for playing bluegrass music. The band includes Kitty Amaral, fiddle; Presley Barker, guitar; Kyser George, bass; Luke Morris, mandolin and Clay Russell, banjo. All of the members are award winning youth musicians. ShadowGrass is striving to be the next torchbearers to carry on bluegrass music to future generations.

The name ‘ShadowGrass’ was created by the members when they came to realize that they are playing bluegrass music in the ‘shadow’ of such great players as: Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and other founders of the early bluegrass genre. ShadowGrass has performed at venues such as The Blue Ridge Music Center, HoustonFest, Heartwood, The Crooked Road, The Historic Earle Theater, The Lincoln Theater, The International Bluegrass Music Association Convention (IBMA), and The Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA).

In 2015, the band was awarded title of the Most Promising Youth Band at the historic Mt. Airy Fiddler’s Convention, and in 2016, the band took first place in the youth competition and 5th place in the adult competition at the prestigious Galax Old Fiddlers Convention. ShadowGrass has been called “one of the most thrilling bluegrass bands to emerge from the musically-rich Crooked Road area in recent memory”
