Rhonda Vincent's The Rage unveil two new members
McDaris joins her from the successful band The Grascals, playing banjo. Helson joins her from Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. Helson, 22, plays guitar and many other stringed instruments. He joins The Rage during his final semester at Bethel College, where he is majoring in music business. He will complete his degree in May 2009. Ingram played guitar for Vincent, while Webb was on banjo. He just became a member of Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper after about 4 1/2 years with Vincent.
"I hope that you will be as excited as I am about the new music, new members, and new approach to our presentation," said Vincent. "With this new group of musicians, we will also record, for the first time in the history of Rhonda Vincent & The Rage; with only the musicians of The Rage. There will be no guest appearances or additional musicians of any kind."

Vincent has found her voice (literally and figuratively) fronting The Rage. Anyone who has seen her live show knows that she can tear it up, whilst remaining true to mountain music sensibility. ...
The very thought of Rhonda Vincent, with her lovely voice and wonderful musicianship, ought to sell many on her new Christmas album, "Christmas Time." She performs some of the best loved Christmas songs, ranging from a reverent "Angels We Have Heard on High," to a celebratory western swing of "Jingle Bells." "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" also benefits from a reverence similar to that applied to "Angels We Have Heard On High." But no matter the ...
Bluegrass icon Rhonda Vincent took a stab at country stardom early in her career, after leaving her family's Sally Mountain Show band, but before racking up an ongoing string of bluegrass classics with her band The Rage. It didn't go well, perhaps because Vincent is a traditionalist who didn't wear contemporary country production with the right artifice.
