The Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent recently said goodbye to four-year Rage member, guitarist Ben Helson. With the departure of Helson, Rhonda welcomes three-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year, Josh Williams, to her award winning Bluegrass band, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage.
“We love Ben so very much, he will be missed,” Rhonda stated. “This is a bitter sweet time, as I am thrilled at the return of Josh Williams to The Rage. Josh is one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever heard. We are excited to begin a new chapter of The Rage, and mark a historical reunion. Our first performance featuring the new assemblage will be televised. Rehearsals begin right away to share ideas and create the absolute best show ever for our 2013 appearances.”
