Center Sage Magazine is thrilled to announce the exclusive premiere of "Four Strong Winds" by Multi-award-winning bluegrass artist and Grand Ole Opry member Rhonda Vincent. Vincent's new album Destinations And Fun Places will be available everywhere on August 9, 2024! With thirteen tracks total, the first three singles released from the project included “Wagon Wheel” “City Of New Orleans,” and “Please Mr. Please.” The theme of Vincent’s new record is just as the title says, “destinations” and “fun places,” which will take every listener on a journey through different cities, states, and other places of interest around the country. Rhonda also invited a few of her closest friends including Dolly Parton, Cody Johnson, Trisha Yearwood, Jeannie Seely, Sonya Isaacs, and Adam Haynes to be included, and another surprise on “Wagon Wheel” that you won’t want to miss.
“I’m so excited to have a new project, especially one that is this unique with songs I never expected to record or perform. It’s amazing to sing classic songs, and I love how people react because they’re already familiar with them. In addition to the classics, we also have two originals, and I’m amazed that people are saying they are their favorites. So, I guess it depends on whether you want familiarity or something brand new, but we have something for everyone.” - Rhonda Vincent
About Rhonda Vincent:
The Grammy-winning Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent began her professional music career at five, singing with her family’s band, the Sally Mountain Show. She picked up the mandolin at eight and the fiddle at twelve, performing with the family band at weekend festivals. Rhonda struck out on her own, singing with the Grand Ole Opry’s Jim Ed Brown. Her opportunity eventually led to a deal with Rebel Records. Her work caught the attention of Giant Nashville’s president, James Stroud, who signed Vincent to record two contemporary country albums. After Giant, she signed with Rounder Records, where her passion for traditional bluegrass music flourished. With the release of her debut album “Back Home Again,” “The Wall Street Journal” crowned Rhonda Vincent the New Queen of Bluegrass. She’s a multi-award winner, with a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album (2017), Entertainer of the Year (2001), Song of the Year (2004), and an unprecedented 7 consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association (2000 – 2006). Her powerful vocal style transcends the boundaries of bluegrass music, as evidenced in her collaboration with Dolly Parton on the Elton John / Bernie Taupin Tribute Project “Restoration” 2018. Rhonda Vincent’s lifelong dream came true when she became a member of the Grand Ole Opry on February 6, 2021. You can also hear her on Cody Johnson’s project, “Treasure.” Her latest album ‘Destinations And Fun Places’ is out now.
