Multi-award-winning bluegrass artist and Grand Ole Opry member Rhonda Vincent’s new single “Wagon Wheel” from her upcoming album Destinations And Fun Places is available now! As a follow-up to Vincent’s first two singles from the record, “City Of New Orleans,” and “Please Mr. Please,” “Wagon Wheel” continues to set the pace for a themed project nearly two years in the making. 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. Originally recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show, Bob Dylan and made world-renowned by Darius Rucker, Rhonda adds her own unique style and once you give it a listen, you will hear a very recognizable voice singing harmonies! “Wagon Wheel” was premiered exclusively by People.com.
“I am so excited to create a new version of “Wagon Wheel” that has so many different elements from mid-tempo to breakdown speeds featuring my band, The Rage, an acapella section, and Alison Krauss singing harmony throughout makes it an epic event.”

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, “Treasures.” Her latest single, “Wagon Wheel,” is now available from her upcoming album ‘Destinations And Fun Places’ due out August 9th.
