Rhonda Vincent and The Rage are traveling abroad; leaving behind their Martha White Bluegrass Express for trains, planes, and automobiles.
The International Bluegrass Star and All American Bluegrass Girl "Rhonda Vincent" with her band "The Rage" set a
personal European record with two consecutive SOLD OUT SHOWS in Laufen Switzerland on July 27 and 28, 2011. "This was my sixth visit to Switzerland. It feels like my second home," Rhonda shares from her Paris hotel room. "The people are so warm and friendly, and I so enjoy the overall feeling of the country." "We are thrilled to have sold out shows, and to meet many new fans, along with our Swiss friends."
The Swiss venue was purchased and renovated by the family who owns the famous Swiss cough drops, "Ricola". The venue houses a music school; with the intended purpose of educating and featuring musical artists.
